Wool-Aid is again supporting children in orphanages in Akkol and Urupinka, Kazakhstan, where temperatures reach -40 degrees in midwinter. We are partnering with the Motherless Child Foundation to help provide warm, woolen socks and mittens to the children there.

Wool-Aid focuses on the older children, sending larger sizes of socks and mittens to help keep them warm in these extremely cold temperatures.

Wool-Aid, Inc., as a 501(c)(3) organization, is registered with the Amazon Smile program.

In our first quarter (plus a few days) of participation, Wool-Aid supporters who have shopped through Wool-Aid’s Amazon Smile portal have helped to contribute more than $50 toward Wool-Aid’s shipping expenses. That means that more than $10,000 in Amazon purchases have been linked to Wool-Aid in just our first 100 or so days in the program–and at no extra cost to you!

If you shop at Amazon, please link your Amazon account to Wool-Aid as the Amazon Smile program that you support, and shop through the URL smile.Amazon.com. Wool-Aid will then receive .5% of the amount of your eligible purchases as a contribution. And, as you can see, it adds up!

Some of the busiest shopping days of the year are coming up, so please make sure to support Wool-Aid as you shop on Black Friday and Cyber Monday!

Wool-Aid is pleased to continue its support of children in Ulaanbaatar, Mongolia through the Dulaan Project. We coordinate with FIRE (Flagstaff International Relief Effort), whose staff in Ulaanbaatar organizes the distribution.

Winters in Mongolia are brutal, with temperatures that rarely get above freezing and that can often dip to -40 degrees at night. The capital city, Ulaanbaatar, is the coldest capital in the world.

Wool-Aid sends hats, mittens, socks, sweaters, vests, and blankets to the children to help keep them warm in these extreme conditions.
