It works: in India and Pakistan, Hindu and Muslim needles click in accord. In Rwanda, Hutus and Tutsis are stitching their differences together. All because women from different, traditionally hostile, communities are organising knitting and sewing businesses to produce much-needed warm clothes for babies, children and elderly people. As mutual trust increases, stereotypes bite the dust. Buy the woollies for NGOs to distribute to hospitals, orphanages and those in need. £35. Or help by supplying a weeks yarn and needles. £25. Or help knit together fractured communities, sponsor a Knit for Peace group. £250. For more on Knit for Peace, please visit our website: Knit for Peace
