Just 4 days left! 💛

Our Fairtrade Fortnight offer ends on Sunday 4 October. Until then, our Handmade Seasonal Cards are £16.99 instead of £19.99, with postage and packaging included.

Every card starts at Sreepur Village, where single mothers make the jute paper by hand. Women from the nearby communities then decorate each one with care. You get 12 cards in four lovely designs, all made to World Fair Trade Organisation standards.

Every penny of profit goes back to around 120 single mothers and their children, paying for education, healthcare and training that helps them build a brighter future.

This year, send your seasonal greetings with a story behind them.

Our seasonal cards are here! 🎉

Four beautiful new designs, each one handmade using jute paper produced by the single mothers of Sreepur Village and decorated by hand by women in the local communities nearby.

Every pack you buy helps make stories like Rahima's possible. She grew up at Sreepur Village as a child, and after her husband's illness left her family without support, she returned three months ago as a mother of six, now settling back in and helping to care for the youngest children in the Baby House. Read her full story in the comments below.

As proud members of the World Fair Trade Organisation, every card is made to strict standards of fair pay and working conditions, and 100% of the profits go straight back into supporting up to 120 single mothers and their children at Sreepur Village.

To mark Fairtrade Fortnight, get a pack of 12 for just £16.99 (usually £19.99), until 4th October. Shop the collection: https://sreepurvillage.org/products/handmade-seasonal-cards-2026

This Friday we launch our 2026 seasonal cards collection, and to mark the occasion we wanted to share the story of how it all began.

Back in 1991, British Airways pilot Captain Rob Jenkinson helped set up Sreepur Cards, a workshop where mothers in Bangladesh turn jute waste into beautiful handmade cards. Rob spent decades getting the cards flown to the UK free of charge and packing every single order himself. The cards went on to reach HSBC, Tesco and UNICEF, and even earned praise from The Guardian as "the best Christmas card ever?"

Rob passed away in 2024, but his legacy lives on, and so does the project he helped build. Read the full story here: https://sreepurvillage.org/blogs/stories/how-sreepur-cards-began

Sreepur Village was founded in 1989, but it was two years later, in 1991, that Sreepur Cards was born: a card and paper making project that would go on to suppo...

Our 2025 Annual Impact Report is here!

Last year, 345 mothers and children were given a safe home, food, healthcare and education. Since 1989, we have supported 1,580 mothers and 4,314 children.

76 mothers and their 136 children entered our rehabilitation programme, which includes livelihood and vocational training for mothers and continued education for children. Of the mothers who completed it, 49% received discharge kits to start income generating activities, including tailoring, livestock and goat rearing, small businesses and agricultural land leasing, 12% secured employment and 38% were reintegrated into family homes.

218 children were in education at the village in 2025, taught by a team of 11 teachers up to age 8 before moving to local community schools. Classroom learning delivered 2,155 hours over the year, with a 90% average exam pass rate and 92% average attendance.

Every mother and child at Sreepur Village has a story of abuse, abandonment, divorce or loss behind them, and a new one being written with the support of our donors, partners and funders.

A Day of Celebration at the Dhaka Office 🎉

This week, 50 children from our SUCCESS Project (Slum & Urban Community Children Education Schooling Support) enjoyed a special quarterly outing, with outdoor games, indoor performances, a delicious meal and prize giving. Their parents joined the celebrations too, following today's Parents Meeting.

SUCCESS is our day drop-in centre in Dhaka for children from urban slums who are at risk of dropping out of school. As it's mainly indoor-based, this outing gave the children a rare chance to play outdoors, showcase their talents and spend quality time together with friends.

One child told us: "I really enjoyed playing outside with my friends. I wish we could have days like this more often!"

Thank you to everyone who helped make the day so special!
