Giving Tuesday: November 27, 2018

 

 

This November 27th, join the GivingTuesday movement and support our Wool-Aid kids!

GivingTuesday is an opportunity to capture the true spirit of giving and to make a difference for something you are passionate about. When you partner with Wool-Aid on GivingTuesday, you are giving warmth to children in very cold environments. These children have extraordinary needs … and very limited resources.

Your donations support our shipping fund, making it possible for Wool-Aid to send warm woolen clothing and blankets to children in remote parts of the world. Fully 97% of donations to Wool-Aid goes to fund shipping costs, primarily international postage.

2018 Shipment to Kyegu Monastery

Our Wool-Aid boxes for the young monks at the Kyegu Monastery in Gamrau, India have arrived! They requested sweaters and socks for this winter, so Wool-Aid sent sweaters and socks in appropriate sizes for the 40 young monks and elders there.

2018 Recipients of Wool-Aid Shipments

Wool-Aid shipments are going to many different places this winter! From the high plateaus of Tibet to the coastal areas of Greece, from the remote mountainous area of Nuristan in Afghanistan to the far northern areas of India. Wool-Aid finds a way to go where few aid agencies reach.
