Following the war for independence, it has endured famines, natural disasters and widespread poverty, as well as political turmoil and military coups.
Saidpur Enterprises was set up to create jobs for Bihari women who receive fair wages and have improved socio-economic conditions with better access to essentials such as food, education, housing, and healthcare.
Bangladesh is the world's largest grower of jute - a hardwearing, biodegradable and eco-friendly alternative to plastic.
The Small World shop carries a number of Saidpur Enterprise products include shopping bags, gardener's carry bag and twine.
Another Bangladesh organisation whose handicrafts we stock is Swajan. Traditional techniques such as applique, embroidery, patchwork and mirror work are used to produce the exquisite greetings cards and purses which are so popular with our customers.
