In Gyumri, the snow and freeze arrived sooner than expected. Winter is the season thatt is less expected no matter how beatiful and magical the nature can look. This period is associated with cold. Warm jackets, sweaters, scarves and gloves are needed to protect kids and their parents from the harsh weather.
What these wonderful ladies do is time-wasting but working hard. They are busy by crocheting various types of mini animals, key tags, rattles and even more. The mission is simple - provide their kids with the Christmas magic and New Year celebration joy. Meanwhile HDIF is doing its best to connect them with the markets and raise awareness about their talents and skills. We reached our small goal to make sure these families have had a wonderful Christmas celebtration in secure and peaceful atmosphere.
So many people who purchased their handmade items left such a positive feedback. They admire the talent and such unique skillset they have in Gyumri.
HDIF wants to be sure these women have a solid roof over their heads, food on the table, and education for the kids - make sure they are prepared for the winter and for generations to come. This is how HDIF works to break the cycle of poverty.
We break it step by step. And we appreciate every support by everybody.
