Ocwee Grace dropped out of school when she was young in order to help her family around the house, but married young in an attempt to get out of that life. However, this marriage was short-lived and she was left to raise her two children alone. Since coming to KK Uganda, Grace has earned the money she needs to feed, clothe, house and care for her children and looks forward to sending her children to school as they get older.
DREAMS FOR THE FUTURE
“I hope to use my savings to buy land and build a home for my family and children. I also hope to go back to school and to send my children to school as well.”
MESSAGE TO KK intl.
“Thank you for the work you are doing and the hope that you have given me for the future.”

Dear Ocwee Grace, This past weekend I purchased a hat that you made. It has been raining constantly where I live, and I was so happy to find something that would cover my frizzy damp hair, but also look nice and be lightweight. The hat is lovely and showcases your talent. I thank you for the work you do. God bless as you continue to work toward your goals. - Rachael from Pennsylvania

Dear Ocwee Grace,
I am so excited to write to you that I purchased a hat you made! I love it so much. I live in a Kansas, USA where it gets cold in the winter. Your hat is super warm. I love the red color you chose. I wear it everywhere! My job is working with international students who come to the US to study. I meet them and try my best to make them feel comfortable and welcome while they stay here in my city. I love my job because I get to meet the world right here in my home. They always bless me. I hope I can bless them. Please tell me your story and how I can pray for you. I would love to hear about Uganda too.
Looking forward to your reply!
Sincerely,
Brandi

Hello Ocwee Grace!
I just bought a bow tie that was crocheted by you today... It immediately caught my attention by how beautifully it was made; most importantly, it is special because it was made by someone with a mission and a dream to make a better future for her children... As I wear my tie, I will think of you and pray that you may reach you hopes and dreams and I will tell your story and encourage others to support Krochetkids.org.
God Bless,

I bought the computer case you made back in August, and have used it this whole semester for school. It has been so sturdy and useful. Your crocheting is beautiful! I can't believe that it's handmade because it looks perfect! Thank you so much for the work you did. I think of you every time I use it. I was able to go to Uganda a couple of years ago, and I really hope I can come back soon.
I pray that God continues to bless you and your family with his amazing love.
Your work is very much appreciated. You are a beautiful woman, and so talented.
Thank you again so much,
God Bless.
