Meet the maker

Akech Santa

Gulu, Uganda Krochet Kids Intl.

Crocheter

As a young girl, Akech Santa was told that women were only meant for motherhood or prostitution and was thus deprived of hope, opportunity and education. Today, Santa is proving the naysayers wrong by supporting herself through her work as a crocheter. She is also using the money to support her children and hopes to use the money she earns to educate them through university.

DREAMS FOR THE FUTURE

My future dream is to see my children through all levels of school so that they might have bright, successful futures. I would also like to start my own textiles business so that I can continue to have reliable work after I leave the program.

LOVE DEFINED

Love comes from within. It cannot be forced and it certainly cannot be bought.

MESSAGE TO KK intl.

Thank you to KK intl. and its supporters for the work that they have done in my life. May God bless you abundantly.
