Every item you buy holds its own story – of resilience, strength and empowerment

"It’s taken a few lifetimes for some of these individual handcrafted items to find their way to us here in New Zealand. Each item tells its own story, its journey to help individuals, orphans, widows, and entire communities.” – Sue van Schreven, Founder, Orphans Aid International

Made with love

Sari Blankets / Throws

Beautiful handmade throws made in Bangladesh from recycled sari cloth by women finding a way out of slavery. Layers of time-worn sari in bright colours and patterns are stitched in neat, even rows.

Thai Coconut Bowls

Handcrafted by families in Rachaburi Province, Thailand, these beautiful hanging bowls reimagine discarded coconut
shells as functional works of art that help support families and their community.

Jewellery

Each piece in our jewellery collection empowers talented women artisans in East Africa and Bangladesh to support their families with dignity. Handcrafted jewellery you’ll love to wear or gift.

“Demand quality, not just in the products you buy, but in the life of the person who made it.” - Orsola de Castro
