At the beginning of 2010, Achiro Kettie Grace was a single mother of three, struggling to find food and necessary medical attention for her children. Today, as a beneficiary for KK Uganda, Kettie Grace is able to not only feed and medicate her children, but can now send them to school with the money that she earns through the program. She hopes to see her children through the highest levels of school and to start a business that will sustain her after she leaves KK Uganda.
DREAMS FOR THE FUTURE
“My dream is to work hard so that I can provide fully for my family and send my children to school.”
INTERESTS & HOBBIES
“My most enjoyable activity is digging. Northern Uganda has such rich, fertile soil that I have been able to survive through agriculture.”
MESSAGE TO KK intl.
“God should bless you and your families and should reward you with things that befit your kind hearts for without your love no such thing as this would be in place.”

My name is Janelle. I have a beautiful beanie that was made by your hands. I wanted you to know, it is my favorite of all my hats I wear. Most of all, I love knowing it came from you. That your hands assembled it and once held it, and that it's with me, in my hands. We are so far apart, yet we both touched the same thing. I cherish it, and hope it in fact helps you to reach your goals. Thank you for my lovely beanie. I am blessed to have it, and I wish you success in your life. Bless you.

Dear Aciro Kettie Grace,
My brother gave me a beautiful yellow scarf yesterday and i fell in love with it as soon as i saw it, but when i saw the story behind it and how similar our names are, It is safe to say that this is my new favorite accessory. Thank you so much for all that you do! Your story is inspiring. Keep on crocheting!

Dear Aciro,
I just purchased my hat (a 5207.5) at a Christian music festival where I first learned of Krochet Kids and the wonderful work that they and you do. A hat made with love is a beautiful thing. I live in a cold climate where we average over 160 inches of snow each year, so I look forward to showing off your wonderful work while keeping myself warm. God bless you and your family!

Thank you for the hat. I live in Kansas, so agriculture is very important to us as well. In case you were wondering, I work in a bookstore in the receiving department. When we get deliveries in the winter, it can get very cold where I work because we need to keep the doors open. Since I have your hat, it feels warmer when we have to log in all those boxes.
Best wishes,
Andrew Thomas

Thank you for my hat, you did an excellent job. The name Kettie is misspelled in my hat but other than that
I am very pleased. It was worth the money, not just for the hat but also for its little contribution to you, your family, and other ladies. Thank you for your hard work.
