This felt door advent calendar is hand made by a small collective of wonderful women in a backstreet of Kathmandu. They hand produce their own chemical free felt from just hand soap and hot water, and then hand sew each cosie together. The social enterprise was established in 2003 in order to help many poor, vulnerable and socially excluded women through building their skills and providing an opportunity to enhance their economic status and independence. The workers are provided with fair wages and work in a friendly, healthy, clean and safe environment. The small co-operative has provided economic opportunities to 78 women and aim to develop and support further socially marginalised women.
