About our Project

Please read below and select the hat and gloves you’d like. If there is anything you’d like to have altered please let us know.
The Woolen Hat and Gloves set are 100% wool, imported from New Zealand and hand knitted. Our women hand-knit your hat and glove and then hand-sew the microfiber lining.

If this causes a problem with tariff or delivery, please let us know.

hen available, so she is just scraping by. Maiya is an enthusiastic worker who demonstrates gratitude to have a stable income and some training.
Donate for Roopa
One of our primary goals is to use the proceeds of our fundraiser to uplift the village starting from these women. Roopa is in for a lovely surprise as our project gets underway. We will keep everyone updated, so please subscribe to our newsletter and blogposts.
Donate for Meera
Meera’s Hat and Glove set
5) MEERA:- 33 years of age with 2 children was also effected by the 2015 earthquakes. Her young children have been severely traumatized by the earthquake. She says they wake up at night screaming – the house is falling. On the outside these women are happy. But inside it is extremely difficult. In a society of over 40% unemployment, how can she compete with her university educated, English-speaking counterparts? How can these women rebuild their lives when they live on subsistence farming?
Donate for Maya
6) MAYA:- 40 years of age is so grateful to have a regular income. She

has 3 children and does not get much support from her ex-husband. Maya is a quick learner with agile fingers. Words cannot convey the the difficulties of women in Nepal. From back and joint pain from climbing the hillside in flip-flops to being illiterate, they are some of the most deserving of people. They teach us the true meaning of strength. Lift these
women up and see what they create.

Donate for Anju
Anju’s Hat and Glove set
7) ANJU:- A mother of 2 children, aged 35 years. Her husband works as a security guard in Bhaktapur a town about 30 minutes away by public bus. Anju is one of our most skilled knitters and has a happy attitude. Anju represents our emerging middle-class Nepali. Yet, if a good job for a man pays $150-250 a month and they are expected to put their children in private school for around $50, there really isn’t much room for saving. It isn’t that any of these women will miss a meal any time soon, they are locked into a life between never having enough and trying to survive a current disaster.
This hat features a fold-up rim and is available in your choice of any 3 colors-of course, microfiber lined, 100% pure wool. Specify small, medium or large and colors.
Donate for Sita
Sita’s Hat and Glove set
Living in an earthquake shelter is only one rung better than living under a tree. It rains inside, is an oven when it’s hot and a freezer when it’s cold. It’s difficult to keep the conditions as sanitary as possible as to keep everyone from getting sick. The family Kay Garnay for Nepal helped to build a home for earlier this year, their baby had been in and out of the hospital due to living in a shelter.
Donate for Subhadra
Subhadra’s Hat and Glove set
9) SUBHADRA:- A mother of 3 almost grown children is happy to have a stable income. A mature forty years of age does her best to improve her skills. Subhadra is always eager to learn new designs. She is saving to improve her house which needs repair from the earthquake. Many families in Nepal live in homes that were damaged during the big earthquakes, but there is such a scary possibility lurking, I feel an eminent sense of danger and trepidation for them.
Patricia came all the way from Australia to teach the women and get this project established. She’s just been amazing for the women. It’s important to provide some sort of western management skills. She speaks Hindi, so the women can understand her a lot better than English.
