Welcome to our global maker-to-market movement where, together with 20,000 artisans, we ignite social change. We create opportunities for individuals, families, and communities in developing countries to thrive through strong relationships, fair wages, safe working conditions, and sustainable practices.
Keeping things organized and properly stored is a surefire way to feel a little calmer throughout the day, but plastic storage bins can be an eyesore. The Calm Mood Lidded Basket combines fashion and function, making it an excellent addition to any room. Women artisans in Bangladesh combine thin strands of mint green and white recycled plastic with bunches of kaisa grass to give a fresh touch to traditional baskets. Dhaka Handicrafts partners with Ten Thousand Villages to create this unique basket and provide a fair wage to makers living in rural Bangladesh.
