Support our projects

SocialFelt provides its services in partnership with other organizations. Due to the nature of the therapy and the cost of using different wool and silk supplies for felting, we need your support to bring these projects alive and help traumatized adolescents and women to recover from trauma.

By donating through this page, your donation will go to the project you want to support, covering the supplies, the transportation and the labour costs of the therapist. You can find out more about the costs visiting our Services page.
