Product Description
This is beautiful cross design box has been delicately carved by artisans from India . It's a puzzle and a box all in one and comes apart to reveal a central secret storage area. It makes a great gift for all ages.
ASHA Handicrafts works with HSSS to make this product. HSSS is a non-profit organization that works for the uplifting and development of underprivileged artisans. It is composed mainly of male artisans, who suffer educational, training and health related issues.
The artisans don't have knowledge of marketing skills and have many barriers to access international trade. However, they are very skilled in making wooden products and are committed to quality, so production is not a problem for them. Therefore, Fair Trade mostly helps them find a market and promote their products.
HSSS respects environmental values and for that they arrange to only use wood from the forest quota given by the government of India (which sells the wood of dead trees). When it comes to the advancement of the people, the organization is taking several steps for the betterment of the artisans. They have created self help groups for the artisans and also organize several exhibitions for promoting their art to increase their market opportunities.
