Tree of Life Mood Lamp
Tree of Life Mood Lamp

The cool blue tone of the Tree of Life Mood Lamp creates a soft, relaxing light. Place it in your favorite room and plug it in at the end of a long day. This lamp was handcrafted by women artisans working with our fair trade partner Prokritee, meaning "nature" in Bangla. Located mainly in rural areas across Bangladesh, small workshops offer safe working conditions and source locally available materials, so that families can stay together in their home villages, rather than migrating to urban areas in search of jobs.

HANDCRAFTED IN BANGLADESH

  • Handmade cut paper shade with silk paper backing, natural string stitching and bamboo base
  • 9SQx13H inches
  • 72 inch brown cord with inline switch

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.
