ORM Sweaters

Written by Lori Acton, Fount of Mercy's International Development Director
Orphan Rescue Ministry has started on a new project – they are making a variety of products with yarn! They have been making so many things, including sweaters, skirts, bags, and blankets. Even though this is Uganda, East Africa, and those that aren’t familiar with this part of the world expects it to very hot, there is a market for items like sweaters here. Sweaters and other items have already sold. For several reasons this is such an exciting project to me, partially because it is relatively unique when it comes to vocational training/ income generating projects and also because it has such potential for growth.
