Crochet clothing and accessories

Alice T.

Alice, 31, is open, dynamic and committed. She has a university degree in accounting and a certificate in crochet. The idea to start a knitting business was born out of observation and a desire to help disadvantaged women living on less than a dollar a day to earn a regular income. Alice hopes to inspire these women through her business and provide them with an opportunity to work and earn a living.
