EMBROIDERED WITH EMPOWERMENT, FROM MOTHER TO MOTHER

WORDS FROM KHUSHI KANTHA:

“Khushi Kantha is an award-winning non-profit social enterprise creating opportunities for mothers in Bangladesh and contributing to the circular economy.

We regenerate the Bengali ‘kantha’ tradition to meet global product safety standards while retaining its circular principles and bringing the cultural heritage of Bangladesh to a wider audience.

Founder Laura Rana was inspired to start Khushi Kantha by the birth of her half-British, half-Bangladeshi daughters and her long-standing dream to use everything she’s learned from many years of living and working in Bangladesh (through her career in the international development and humanitarian sectors) to help other mothers, whose position she could easily be in herself if circumstances were different.

We partner with sustainability-minded members of the Bangladeshi garments industry to breathe new life into deadstock cotton fabric by upcycling it to line our products, which are hand-crafted from hand-woven hand-dyed 100% cotton fabric and embroidered with empowerment by the mothers we partner with.

Our multi-dimensional impact measurement system reflects our multi-faceted approach to sustainability. Inspired by the Bhutanese Global Happiness Index for Business, it combines the use of internationally validated tools with participatory methods, to ensure we are measuring our impacts in ways that are meaningful for the mothers at the core of our social enterprise mission. “
