'Hathay Bunano p.s. is a non-profit organisation based in Bangladesh. We aim to create rural employment that is fairly paid, good quality, flexible and local. Employment opportunities for artisans that are within a 5-10 minute walk from their homes but at the same time provides a safe and compliant working environment. Employment that fits in with the artisans rural way of life rather than employment which dictates the rhythm of their lives.
Our strength for employment security is in the wonderful products that we create. Hathay Bunano p.s. specialise in hand knitting, hand crochet and hand embroidery and sell these products worldwide to mainstream retailers and distributors. We currently export about 30,000 products per month all over the world, to UK, USA, Australia, Europe and Scandinavia.'
'Since employment creation will ultimately lead to poverty eradication, and SMEs are likely to lead the field in rural employment creation maybe the donors could do worse than looking to partnerships with SMEs rather than NGOs to achieve the long sought-after aim of us all.'
A fresh look at poverty... Providing sustainable work locally to communities using small and medium entraprises and teaching them individual skills to create fairtrade high end products rather than National Global Organisations making huge factory outlets in urban settings.
