Knitted Knockers

🩷 160 pairs of Knitted Knockers. 150 bras. And a whole lot of hope traveling across the world. 🌍🧶🇪🇹

In Harar, Ethiopia, women recovering from breast cancer surgery have faced a challenge many of us may take for granted: access to bras and breast prostheses to help them feel comfortable and confident in their own bodies.

In 2023, volunteer Allison J. and her Minnesota-based group, sponsored by the Ali Birra Foundation, visited the Honorable Dr. Artist Ali Birra Memorial Cancer Treatment Center. What they discovered inspired a beautiful effort to help.

💗 Knitted Knockers provided 160 pairs of free, handmade breast prostheses, and their local community contributed 150 bras. In 2024, half of those donations made the journey to Ethiopia, where they were warmly welcomed and put to immediate use by women receiving care at the cancer center.

And the journey isn’t over! This December, Allison’s group will bring the remaining donations to Harar, along with additional Knitted Knockers for two other Ethiopian cities that have requested them for their breast cancer patients.

For women returning to their families and rural communities after treatment, these simple gifts offer more than physical comfort. They provide dignity, confidence, and a little help feeling like themselves again. Best of all, they come at no cost to the women who need them.

We are deeply grateful to Allison and her dedicated group for carrying our mission across the world and helping more women experience the comfort and confidence they deserve. Every stitch truly can make a difference! 🩷
