Product Description:
This créche set was made by Mitra Bali, a non-governmental, non-profit organization on the mostly-Hindu island of Bali, was started in 1993 to provide marketing and export assistance to 15 family workshops producing handcrafts. The director of Mitra Bali was convinced that local artisans should consider producing "eco-friendly" handcrafts for export instead of competing for sales in the tight local tourism market. Mitra Bali now works with about 60 producer groups- mostly family workshops-representing about 2000 artisans. Because many of the Balinese handcrafts are made of wood, Mitra Bali supports reforestation by supplying the artisans with soft wood seedlings and avoiding the use of hard woods. Hand-painted wood with an antique finish. 2 pieces. 6 ¾” h. Fair Trade Product.
