Episode 1: Krochet Kids Intl. | The People's Fleet
5 Ford Fiestas, 12 non-profit organizations, 8 weeks, a team of storytellers, the greater Los Angeles community and Ford Motor Company are driving forward a new generation of leaders. This is The People's Fleet™.
About Krochet Kids INTL
Krochet Kids international employs 87 women in Northern Uganda through the production of fashionable headwear and accessories. Through their time spent in the Krochet Program these women are not only provided with the finances to begin to plan and save for the future, but they are also mentored through further education on finances and career development. All products made by this group in Uganda are then sold in the U.S. in order to create a sustainable cycle of employment and empowerment within these war-torn communities. It is in this way that we like to say, "Buy a hat. Change a life."
