Kippot for a Cause

I've noticed a new trend developing -- kippots which bebefit various causes. If you're looking for something unique and meaningful, check out these amazing hand made kippot.  They are beautiful, functional and memorable..  Best of all, a portion of the proceeds go to support the local communities who make them:
 
Maya Works, these beautiful and colorful kippot are hand crafted by Mayan women.  Sales support villages in Guatemala where they live. maya works
 
Kippot for Hope, 100% of profits go to support Jewish communities in Uganda.  it's worth visiting their website just to read about their history and commitment to Judaism. kippot for hope
 

Lifeline for the Old (Yad L'Kashish),  is based in Jerusalem.  Elderly Israelis make kippot, tallitot, challah covers and all types of gift items. life line
