Afghanistan: Pakol Hats

Traditional Afghan Wool Pakol Hat
ZDZ:HAT-PKTRAD $13.00
This soft wool hat will keep your head very toasty warm! Sometimes called a pakul or khapol,
this traditional hat is usually found in earthtone colors. You roll up the sides so it's close to the top,
and then the hat sits on your head. The upper portion of the hat is lined.
One size fits most.

Handmade by female artisans of Zardozi Markets for Afghan Artisans,
this non-governmental organization (NGO) in Afghanistan is committed to helping artisans find
markets for their crafts.
The organization grew from the DACAAR Sewing Center,
which coordinated income generation projects to help 3000+
Afghan families living in Pakistani refugee camps afford schooling and health care.

Bolivia: Alpaca Hats

Knit Alpaca Baby Hat with Ears
SPT:HAT-BABY
$30.00
These adorable "bunny ear" baby hats are super soft, very cute, and come in assorted striped colors.
These hats and our alpaca scarves are made by women in Bolivia,
many of whom have been abandoned by their husbands.
Caring for their children in the high reaches of the Andes means these women knit lots of kids hats!

these Bolivian artisans.

Elephant Hat | Lion Hat |
These fun lion, elephant and zebra kid's hats are knit by
Kenana Knitters - the same group that makes our ponchos,
including the ponchos that the women are wearing in this photo.
Kenana Knitters was started in 1998 to help rural women find a much needed form of income.
They work on Kenana Farm and live nearby in the town of Njoro, a couple hours outside of Nairobi, Kenya.
In addition to earning an income based on fair wages, the knitters have access to free HIV/AIDS testing
once a month, and can obtain basic medicine from a mobile clinic that regularly visits the farm.
