Golden Tree Ornament Card - Default Title (6604370)
Golden Tree Ornament Card

Send a card and gift in one with the Golden Tree Ornament Card, handmade from tree-free paper. Designed and handcrafted by environmentalist artisans in Bangladesh, the golden tree ornament with its screenprinted design easily detaches from its card, which is made from locally sourced water hyacinths. These plants are growing and clogging waterways, so their use in handcrafting prevents trees from being used as paper sources.

HANDCRAFTED IN BANGLADESH

  • Materials: Water hyacinth Paper
  • Measures: 4" x 6"
  • Colors: Tan, white, golden yellow
  • Notes: Includes envelope, gold seal & metallic gold cord for hanging

SKU: 6604370

THE MAKERS

Prokritee (meaning "nature" in Bengali) manages several handicraft enterprises and helps other groups sell their products in local and foreign markets. Prokritee and its enterprises provide jobs for poor rural women. By providing jobs for women, Prokritee improves women’s standard of living and helps them send their children to school. The organization provides skills development training to artisans. Prokritee creates and promotes income–generating projects that benefit the artisans, adhere to good safety and environmental standards, and have the potential to become self–reliant. Prokritee was established in 2001 as an independent organization. Ten Thousand Villages has purchased products from Prokritee and its predecessor MCC Bangladesh since 1986.
