For millions of children around the world\u2014vulnerable and living in poverty, many in dangerously cold climates\u2014keeping warm throughout the year is a struggle. That\u2019s where Knit for Kids<\/a> steps in.<\/p>\n

The program, which began in 1996 by Guideposts before being turned over in 2009 to World Vision, a Christian humanitarian organization, distributes hand-knit or crocheted sweaters, caps, scarves and blankets to families in need.<\/p>\n

\u201cA handmade item is not something these kids are usually getting, so to be gifted a piece that somebody put love into stitch by stitch, while thinking of you is really powerful for them,\u201d Lauren Fisher, World Vision\u2019s Director of Public Relations told Guideposts.org<\/em>. \u201cThis is a way to fulfill the crafting urge knitters have while combining it with the opportunity to help others<\/a>.\u201d<\/p>\n

The items are knitted or crocheted by thousands of nation-wide volunteers who have heard of the initiative through Guideposts or World Vision. They\u2019re given the option of choosing one of six available patterns on the Knit for Kids website and then mail their completed knitted items to the program\u2019s sorting facility in Pennsylvania, where these are processed and delivered to destinations throughout the world, including Africa, Asia and parts of Europe.<\/p>\n

Guideposts\u2019 longtime friend, Debbie Macomber, serves as World \"DebbieVision\u2019s international spokesperson for their Knit for Kids charity initiative. The best-selling novelist, who is an avid knitter<\/a>, brings knitters together by providing them with ways of giving back using their love for knitting. She\u2019s previously owned a yarn store, wrote an entire series about a knitting shop and has hosted knitting events, such as knitting cruises and reader retreats.<\/p>\n

\u201cThrough the years of meeting my readers, I\u2019ve come to realize many of them are crafters, and they all come with a generous heart,\u201d Macomber said. \u201cEvery item they create contains love within it.\u201d<\/p>\n

Knitting with Love<\/strong><\/p>\n

Love was not the only thing the Knit for Kids items brought Lyness Kholomana and her twins, Glory and Praise, from Malawi; the baby blankets also provided her comfort and hope<\/a>.<\/p>\n

\u201cIt\u2019s difficult to get all we need as a family,\u201d Kholomana told World Vision. \u201cAnd it is not easy to give something to someone these days, but these people were able to give to people they do not even know.\u201d<\/p>\n

Kholomana\u2019s family were one of many families chosen as beneficiaries, which according to World Vision<\/a>, all received baby blankets in an effort to improve the wellbeing of children in the community. <\/p>\n

Margo Mikayelyan and her son, Gorgun<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n

The organization also provided the Mikayelyan family, from Armenia, with warm clothing as well as blankets and pillows during a time in which they couldn\u2019t afford rent or clothes.<\/p>\n

\u201cThe old clothes were so worn out, we burned them for heat,\u201d Sarine Khachatryan, the maternal grandmother who lives with the family, told World Vision. \u201cIt\u2019s good to be reminded to show love and respect, to teach children to be peaceful and to get along well with others.\u201d<\/p>\n

Knitting During Covid Pandemic<\/strong><\/p>\n

In 2019, Knit for Kids shipped 128,429 hand-crafted items to over half a million children in need all around the world. The items\u2014accepted year-round\u2014are distributed to locations where the need is the greatest.<\/p>\n

Most recently, World Vision again teamed up with Macomber to protect families during the Covid-19 pandemic. Macomber is rallying her community of crafters<\/a> by giving them the opportunity to make and donate masks to families in need. This project assists low-income families who can\u2019t afford masks, which are required to attend church, work, school or the grocery store.<\/p>\n

Knit for Kids hopes to continue connecting knitters and crafters with others who desperately need the items they\u2019re producing. According to Macomber, knitters benefit in knowing they have given away a part of themselves with the products they\u2019re creating.<\/p>\n

\u201cThey are making the world a better place<\/a>, one loving item at a time.\u201d<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
