Stay Warm, Help Others
Hyrax beanies are handmade in the Kakuma refugee camp in Kenya.
It's the 3rd largest refugee camp in the world, and each purchase helps provide much-needed jobs.
Refugee-Made
These hats were made at a shop called Peace House International, a business owned by Adelle, a refugee from the DRC.
Through your purchases, Kakuma Co has been supporting Adelle for over 2 years, allowing her to expand her shop and hire more refugees.
Very Cool
It should be pretty apparent, but these are some cool beanies.
Buy one; you'll look good, and you'll help someone in need.

Here is their story:
When refugees arrive in the Kakuma Refugee camp, the first place they go is to a "reception center." Here, they hope to receive a refugee ID and get processed and placed somewhere in the camp.
Unfortunately, it does not always go this smoothly. Similarly to the stories of people landing at an airport without a passport and remaining stuck in that airport, some refugees (due to bureaucratic processes or other regulation) remain stuck in the reception centers for days, months, or even years, unable even to seek refuge in the refugee camps.
Innocent, a refugee entrepreneur within the camp, took us to visit the reception center, where we met a man who had been stuck there for years selling these stools. He had been at his craft for a long time, and the stools looked, felt, and were solid. We immediately purchased them; each of your purchases gives this man business and all profits go to helping refugees like him.
