"The Boys" T-shirts are here!

 
SNSD's new album "The Boys" is out, and so are our new T-shirts! We have designs for Jessica, Taeyeon, and Yoona based on the album concept, with more of the girls to come. Shop here (just in time for the holidays!)



Sierra Leone Muslim Brotherhood Primary School
Remember, all profits from the sale of these T-shirts go to charity. We've chosen to support Project Equal Access, an initiative to start a library for the Sierra Leone Muslim Brotherhood Primary School in Magburaka, Sierra Leone. Children at this school lack basic necessities like running water, electricity, textbooks and furniture. The project will collect donations of books, supplies and money to establish a library by April 2012 and equip the school with modern amenities. By giving these children the access to education everyone deserves, we hope to expand their future opportunities. Your support of Crafts4Change goes toward this worthy cause.  
Thank you for your support, and enjoy the girls' new single!



Donation to Kiva.org

Hi everyone,

We haven't had an update in while, but don't worry, Crafts4Change is still around! We wanted to let you know that on December 4th we donated $75 of our funds to a small business owner in Guatemala via Kiva.org. Kiva is a non-profit organization that makes loans to people in need around the world, empowering them to improve their lives and the lives of their families. Kiva takes donations, as little as $25, through the internet and works with microfinance institutions who administer the loans in areas that lack traditional banking systems. Over 98% of these loans are then repaid!

We contributed to a loan to Felipa Manuela Vasquez, enabling her to buy thread and cloth for her sewing business. The loan was administered through the Asociación de Desarrollo Integral Rural (Association for the Development of Rural Communities) in Guatemala. Felipa Manuela's loan was 100% funded thanks to our $75! You can learn more about Kiva and how it helps budding entrepeneurs here.

Thank you for supporting Crafts4Change and helping us make a difference to people like Felipa Manuela!
