Wall hanging One world

Educational Wall Hangings

Wall hanging One world

One world is the theme for this richly hand embroidered cotton wall hanging. A circle of friends in a circle around the world with flags of the world from Japan, Australia and Canada among them.
Measuring approx 64 x 63.5 with four tabs measuring 4 cms along the top for easy hanging.


    In the tranquil rural villages of Kushtia, Gazipur and Birishiri in Bangladesh, 140 women are involved in creating exquisite items using the traditional skills of Nakshikantha embroidery. Patience, perfection and creativity are necessary attributes for every artisan who hand works this highly skilled embroidery. By securing markets for their embroidery work, the artisans, many whom are single, divorced or widowed are able to earn an income which is vital in their struggle to survival.
Purchased from the fair trade organization SHOHOJOGITA , a Bangladesh word which means “helping each other”. The principal vision is to help the rural poor, widowed, divorced and helpless women by creating employment for them.

 SHOHOJOGITA is a non-profitable and non-government social development organization .
SHOHOJOGITA dreams to establish a free society from exploitation, oppression and injustice as well as a society, where each individual will be able to live in peace and harmony.
