Women of Kathal Kreations at work
Kathal Kreation is a resourceful group of women from the river delta country of Bangladesh who use their own skills and their country’s own natural resources to produce this completely handmade product. All paper is handmade, and wheat straw, bamboo and jute are hand processed into a form used on these cards. Your support by purchasing these cards gives opportunity to these courageous women to lead the way and show others in their poverty-stricken, aid-dependent country how to be successful by initiative, enterprise and hard work.
Maria’s Story
Maria is 32 years old. Her husband Dominic is a carpenter. Because of economic stagnation in Bangladesh, he is unable to get more than occasional work. When there is no work there is no rice for the family of 4 children. With Maria’s card-making earnings, she was first able to buy a fan for their hot dwelling, then to move the family from the slum where they had lived to a one-room apartment in a better area. This put them near a school in which they have enrolled their son Noyon, who is 8 years old.
Minu’s Story
Minu is 19 years old and lives with her widowed mother. She is a capable young lady and a good student. Due to lack of money she was unable to continue her schooling. Now, with her card-making earnings, Minu is able to continue her studies.
