Jubilee Spree is part of the Jubilee Village Project, a non-profit organization determined to help villagers in Kager, Kenya, rise above poverty and become self-sustaining:
Jubilee Spree’s story is a fun one to tell. Jubilee Spree was built from the passion to empower and equip women and girls living in a remote, rural village in Kenya who have extraordinary strength and ambition but few means to realize their potential. I met these ladies while working as a volunteer with Jubilee Village Project (www.jubileevillage.org), a non-profit organization determined to help villagers in Kager, Kenya, rise above poverty and become self-sustaining.
Women in Kager now earn money (making crocheted hats) to feed their families, pay children’s school fees and even save a little. They have been equipped to produce a quality product, and are paid a fair wage for their work.
The hats are shipped to volunteers in Indiana who embellish each one with yarns, ribbons, bows and other cool things which make each one unique. (From Jubilee Spree website)
