KNITTING
Why Knitting Matters
At UMAI Foundation, fashion and design is where imagination takes form. Children sketch their own ideas, pair colors and textures, and bring their vision to life. This process teaches problem-solving, self-expression, and creativity, while nurturing confidence and decision-making skills. For children facing cancer, fashion design becomes a source of empowerment — transforming a simple idea into a wearable statement of resilience and creativity.
