Teardrop Sari Birdhouse
Teardrop Sari Birdhouse

One of the most resourceful and innovative practices of the skilled artisans we partner with is the use of recycled and sustainable materials in their designs. This Teardrop Sari Birdhouse utilizes recycled cotton sari textiles and banana fiber woven to create each individual birdhouse in a shape reminiscent of those many birds build for themselves. This results in a birdhouse that you, the birds and the planet we share can all appreciate.

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.
