Philippine Hand-Woven Rattan Newspaper Basket
Product Description
They provide much-needed income for families in Bohol in the Philippines. Many of the basket weavers have seen their income triple over what they made in the farming business. They also provide much-needed work for families on Bohol Island in the Philippines. Much of this progress is due to the work of 33.3 Exports, which started out as a 4-person company 15 years ago. Made in the Philippines of local materials and carefully crafted by artisans, these baskets are a beautiful addition to your home. Size: 14-1/2"L x 12-1/2"W x 12-1/4"H. For more information about how our baskets support this community, go to plowandhearth.com. Additionally, the baskets are woven from all natural materials that are harvested in an eco-friendly, sustainable manner. Our baskets do more than look beautiful in your home. The basket business helped fund a clinic and school. Once an impoverished community where few children attended school, Bohol today has schools and a hospital to serve its citizens. Today, it employs 70 full time employees and more than 8,000 basket weavers in the community.
