Crafts of Hope
Using crafts ... to fulfill hope
What is Crafts of Hope?
Crafts of Hope is a non-profit organization dedicated to helping the disadvantaged women and children earn a livelihood by learning and applying a valuable skill. We were introduced to the plight of these women and children and were inspired to make a difference by the volunteers at Home of Hope, Inc. (www.hohinc.org) who work tirelessly and compassionately to improve the living conditions of orphaned and abandoned children.
Crafts of Hope believes that the best way to help these women and children is to empower them with skills that will help them sustain a livelihood. We are hoping to achieve this by training women and children from various Home of Hope projects in the skill of crocheting and providing this online store as an outlet for selling their handicrafts. All profits go directly to Home of Hope and solely benefit the women and children.
Although we are starting with projects in India, one day we hope to expand to other countries.
Why Crochet?
Crochet is an easy to learn skill and results in a wide array of wonderful and useful creations. On this site you will see hand made shawls, scarves, caps, cardigans and more for kids, teens, adults as well as pets. You will cherish the unique, charming and intricate designs that are made with love and care.
These handicrafts are exquisite gifts for birthdays, anniversaries and special events. They make for thoughtful gifts that will give joy to the recipient while empowering a disadvantaged woman or child.
