Donate Baby Booties

We are soliciting handmade baby booties from donors all around the world. We want to collect 11,700 booties that are extremely varied and traditional to as many ethnic groups as possible. The preciousness of the booties as a craft item, made by women who love their daughters, provides a caring, loving counter-message to the brutal facts of gendercide.

Contact us: donations@gendap.org.
If possible, please make baby shoes that are approximately 4" to 4.5" (10-12 cm) in length.  Smaller booties may not be visible in this large installation, and larger ones may be difficult to mount.  When you have finished, please send your completed baby shoes to:  

Gendercide Awareness Project
c/o Beverly Hill

Can't knit? Can't sew? Don't have time? Please send a donation.
A Gift of:
$10 = 3 pairs

You are welcome to use your own patterns, but if you need a pattern, we have some right here that you can use.  If you have a pattern you like (that is not copyrighted), please send it to us with a photo.
