KidKnits

KidKnits was founded by a nine-year old knitter, Ellie, who believed that “You’re never too young to change a life on the other side of the world.” Through the fair trade import of handspun yarn from women living and working in poverty in developing countries, KidKnits offers a simple craft kit for a student that is integrated with a comprehensive service-learning curriculum. KidKnits is dedicated to two separate, yet uniquely connected goals: To support dignity and sustainable employment for vulnerable families living in poverty in developing countries. To honor our founder’s original belief and inspire American youth to help change lives around the world.
