The campaign has now expired but it's not too late to support this charity.
Visit the charity's profileSunnara is the Arabic term used for the knitting needle or crochet needle. It is also the term used for the word hook.
Due to popular demand coming from our “Most Outstanding Mothers” (MOMs) program participants, Unite Lebanon Youth Project (ULYP) is launching the Sunnara project to invite underprivileged and refugee women to a world where they can work from home kitting and crocheting. They will learn to make basic clothing and decorative items for their families and later become entrepreneurs, producing items that they can sell to others and generate income.
Your donation of $70 gives a woman a basket of yarn, three sets of knitting needles, and group knitting lessons by a professional for 2weeks. It also covers the transportation to class, a coffee break, and a snack to keep her learning and knitting.
