Knitters Operation Coverup – Mission without Borders

WITH EVERY STITCH YOU GIVE HOPE

Kiwis all across New Zealand unite to knit thousands of blankets and warm clothing for children, families, and the elderly living in desperate need in Eastern Europe.

Winter in Eastern Europe can get as low as -25°C and many children, families and the elderly have little to keep them warm in a harsh winter.
Thanks to the great work of Liz Clarke and her team of coordinators, hundreds of Kiwis are knitting, donating wool, fundraising for shipping costs and preparing the items for shipping.

We now send two 40ft shipping containers each year bursting with blankets and clothing as well as other items to those living in poverty or other vulnerable situations.
A hand made item means so much more, it means hope, better health, it’s giving protection and warmth. Thank you!
