One of Tufenkian Foundation’s projects was The Armenian Knitting Ladies.

The goal was to give Christmas employment to poorest women in the newly independent country of Armenia. It is very inspiring to see the great skills, creativity, and heart the women had invested in each beautiful piece and by the positive and courageous spirit with which they approached the difficulties of each day.

The small project that started only 30 skilled knitters has become a life changing, consistent employment for nearly 400 women who’s astonishing handcrafted works you can view and purchase here.
