Krochet Kids

So this post is mainly to give a shout out to Krochet Kids, who have recently started working here in Lima, Peru! We had the opportunity to go check out their location, help get things ready for a shipment, and got a super cool hat out of the deal!

An American family (the Goodfellows) that lives close to our neighborhood are the ones heading up the Peru location, so we got a behind the scenes look at the work God is doing with KK in Peru...

The hats we worked on today (tagged and bagged them!)

Who knew all of that experience of tagging merchandise at Loupot's would come in handy!

They have about 6 or so ladies working for them right now, and will be hiring again soon

"THIS IS EMPOWERMENT"

Krochet Kids is a very exciting ministry:  fun, "hip" (I hesitate to say that because of any negative connotation out there with the word hip...) products made by women trying to overcome poverty and all based on holistic Christian restoration! By providing a job for these women, Krochet Kids is helping them break the cycle of poverty in their families. As well, Krochet Kids wants to provide a mentor figure to these ladies and not only restore them physically from poverty, but also mentally and spiritually. This non-profit is doing great work in Lima, and are truly EMPOWERING the people here. I won't share ALL of the info on KK, but do go check out their website at www.krochetkids.org to see their products and their story! Then buy a hat or two :)
