This lovely owl tape measure from Vietnam was made by Mai Handicrafts, an organisation set up by two social workers who wanted to improve the lives of street children and single mothers in Ho Chi Minh City. The pirate patches were made in India by Believe You Can, which puts 50% of its profits into local community welfare projects, including two schools, a health clinic and veterinary service. The Shared Earth fish and octopus money boxes were made in Kolata, India by MKS, which gives artisans stable employment, making them self-sufficient, thus able to send their children to school.
