Fresh Start Gift Basket

Give a handmade gift basket. Each item in our Fresh Start Gift Basket provides income, a fair wage, and opportunity for women in Bangladesh, including safety for women escaping human trafficking.

SERRV may substitute similar items at our discretion, based on availability.

What's included:

• Natural Jute Mitt
• 100% Natural Coconut & Palm Oil Soap in Lavender Coconut
• 100% Natural Coconut & Palm Oil Soap in Cinnamon Clean
• Jasmine-Scented Candle in Sea Grass-Wrapped Terracotta Pot
• Woven Grass Basket with Recycled Sari Wrap

Natural Jute Mitt (9"l x 5"w) is extra exfoliating, and can be hung to dry from its handy 3" loop.

100% Natural Coconut & Palm Oil in Lavender Coconut (3.5 oz) is handmade with lavender essential oil and exfoliating coconut flakes. Bar is hand-wrapped with a wax thumbprint seal.

100% Natural Coconut & Palm Oil in Cinnamon Clean (3.5 oz) is made with cinnamon essential oil and exfoliating cinnamon flakes. Bar is hand-wrapped with a wax thumbprint seal.

Jasmine-Scented Candle in Sea Grass-Wrapped Terracotta Pot (3"dia x 2 1/2"h) offers just the right ambiance, with both pieces reusable.

Woven Grass Basket with Recycled Sari Wrap (3 1/2"h x 8 1/2"w x 6"d) is handmade with recycled sari fabric, made in Bangladesh.

Your purchase provides employment for rural women in some of the poorest parts of the country (many are widows, single mothers, or heads-of-household with little or no income), and education for their children. Soaps are made by disadvantaged women from red-light districts in Bangladesh who escaped the sex trade. Your purchase creates alternate employment, hope, and dignity, turning past pain and trauma into productive new lives.
