Pillow Project

for LifeNets Malawi

Livelihood Development

(Final Bids -- December 18, 2006 11:59 PM)

 

 

Bid on these pillows! Support the LifeNets Livelihood Development Project in Malawi, that enables people to make a living by helping them with their small businesses. Get a tax deduction for your purchase. 

 

All proceeds will go to the original creator of the pillowcase cover in Malawi. They will then be able to buy more material and do this again.

 

These pillows began as cloths richly embroidered by a group of ladies in Malawi. The fine workmanship of this embroidery is impressive. Upon arriving in America, the cloths were transformed into pillows by the creative work of Mary Bowie, a member of the Kalamazoo United Church of God congregation. These unique pillows are now ready for a special place in your home.
