Mission

Zahra Handworks Foundation is a 501(c)(3) non-profit organization that facilitates educational and enrichment opportunities focused on the value and importance of creating with one's own hands—especially when made from re-purposed and reclaimed materials—and the positive ecological effects this can have  on the environment, culture, and family. 

Since 2013, Zahra Handworks has given away hundreds of crochet hooks and scissors and provided instruction how to cut a reclaimed plastic bag into a single strip of plarn (plastic yarn) that can be crocheted or woven into new items. Additionally, four looms have been gifted to three traditional Egyptian women in Bahariya, Aswan, and Abydos. They also received the training needed to be able to use their new tool. 

We welcome your tax deductible donations to help us supply the next loom and training to use it! Contact Zahra Indigo if you want to help!
