You may have heard on the news about the situation in Afghanistan.
Basically 23 million people are in imminent risk of starvation. The situation was bad before the Taliban took over, but since then most governments and aid agencies have pulled out of the country, leaving the poor people of Afghanistan to fend for themselves. These are ordinary people, not fighters, no one asked them if they wanted the Taliban to take over, they are the victims of years of foreign interference in their country.
We have been supporting lots of women who make our Afghan Slipper Socks.They are hand knitted by women who have been widowed in the conflict, buying our slipper socks really helps them earn an income so that they can support their families.
We have just received a new shipment of 1200 slipper socks from Afghanistan and now given the dire situation in the country we want to help more and are giving £1 for each pair of slipper socks sold between now and Christmas to the upcoming DEC appeal for Afghanistan.
For those of you who don’t know, our Slipper Socks are the perfect winter alternative to cold feet! They are very versatile, they can be worn around the house as slippers or in your wellies as socks! They have a leather sole on them which is soft but hand wearing on carpets and solid floors.
They come in sizes small to XL and being hand knitted come in a multitude of designs and colours.
