The GoGo Olive Jumbo is similar to the original Shamwaris, just a bit bigger and softer! They are perfect for a child to cuddle and tell all their stories too. A lovely gift for a new baby.

GoGo Olive is a nonprofit located just down the road from Kuda Vana Children’s Home in Mutare, Zimbabwe. They employ vulnerable and incarcerated women to knit these beautiful animals, and we love them! Every purchase you make through Kuda Vana’s website benefits women working at GoGo Olive, and children at Kuda Vana! I

Please note – the knit sweaters on each item vary in color. Our quantities are limited, and we might not have the animal you are looking for in stock. We will do our best to keep it updated. Please visit www.gogo-olive.com if we don’t have what you are looking for!
