It’s that time again: Our annual charity dye is here. With your support, we’re helping to do good \u2013 in collaboration with the nonprofit organization kila mtoto<\/a><\/strong>, which supports children and families in Rabai, Kenya. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

What’s behind this year’s charity dye?<\/strong><\/h3>\n\n\n\n

This year’s charity dye bears the melodious name “Kanga”<\/strong> \u2013 inspired by the colorful cotton fabric<\/strong> of the same name that plays a central role in Kenya. Because a kanga is more than just fabric: It’s a symbol of culture, community, and creativity<\/strong>. Women wear it as clothing, use it as a baby carrier, shopping bag, or even as a tablecloth. Particularly touching are the Swahili sayings found on many kangas \u2013 short messages full of life wisdom, humor, or appreciation. <\/p>\n<\/div>

With this year’s colourway, we want to honor not only the vibrant colors and versatility of the kanga, but also contribute to improving living conditions in Rabai. Because with every skein of the charity dye sold, you’re supporting kila mtoto e.V<\/a>.<\/strong> in providing children with access to education and healthy meals. <\/p>\n\n

How your donations help<\/h3>\n\n

For every 100g skein of the charity dye we donate \u20ac5<\/strong> and for every 150g skein we donate \u20ac7<\/strong> to the nonprofit organization kila mtoto<\/strong><\/em><\/a>. Therefore, the charity dyes have a small price increase compared to our regular skeins. The difference to \u20ac5 or \u20ac7 is added by Alte K\u00fcnste.<\/strong> <\/p>\n\n
