If you follow this link it will lead you to a video about Krochet Kids International, but more specifically about Betty, one of their employees.
A recent t.v. commercial led me to want to explore this company a little further. As you can see, they base their company around the mission "To empower people to rise above poverty". They do this by creating the cycle that was discussed in the video. While some may not think that this company can have an impact, Akello Alice (a hat maker) might beg to differ. When the company first met her, she could barely afford medication to keep her HIV under control and put food on the table for her children. Now, she owns land and is saving for her family's future.
This is a company that takes Corporate Social Responsibility to the next level. Their entire business model and strategy is focused on being sustainable and giving to others what many Americans are afforded by birth. If every company could even just have half as much compassion and drive to make the world, not just their corporation, a better place our world would be much better off.

I think this company is doing a really good thing. I admire their dedication and persistance to make the world a better place. I think they helped out a lot of people in need.
ReplyDeleteThis is the lighter side of our topic. This company is devoted to helping the people of our world. I have seen commercials like this where viewers see someone like Alice and how it affects her life.

ReplyDeleteKrochet Kids International is the best example of Social responsibility I have ever seen a company have. The whole company is in existence to help people in poverty. This is truly a great concept, and I hope they are successful in their mission.
I'm glad to read this article last out of are groups. It is a really good thing that this company is successful by helping others. Ethics is so important within all companies, and to do so well with it as a company it can really set the bar high for other companies to join in on the compassion and start helping people.
