Thick brass wire is formed into a heart and wrapped in cloth and beads. Great for Christmas or any time you want to share some love.
We are creating a society where girls and women are empowered, valued, accepted, and have confidence to contribute to their family, community, and nation. - Basha
Through dignified work, Basha provides a sustainable livelihood for women at risk and survivors of trafficking. Women gain job skills and the opportunity to develop into leaders and entrepreneurs in a healthy, healing, supportive environment. They see handmade artisan products delivered into the homes of everyday people consciously choosing to make a difference.
Basha’s vision is to continue to grow as long as there are women in Bangladesh in need of dignified work. Basha dreams of a day when women are not at risk of exploitation and don’t live in fear. Their vision focuses on the lives of the women they work with. Each woman’s story varies, but her circumstances have put her at high risk of harm or resulted in her exploitation and abuse. They work with her children too, ensuring the cycle of poverty and victimisation is broken.
Everyone who works at Basha understands that Basha is collectively their business. Each woman’s role is essential to our success and every voice is heard. Basha hopes that all who work with us will be inspired to dream new dreams and reach ever-increasing standards of excellence, and so we provide ongoing mentoring, training, education, support and encouragement to every artisan.
