Stichting 2Mothers
Stichting 2Mothers is a foundation with as primary objective to provide work for vulnerable mothers all over the world. Together with our partners, we are currently active in Bangladesh and Ethiopia.
To achieve our objective, 2Mothers offers training and employment to those mothers. They are paid fairly for their work, which rapidly improves their and their families' standard of living. 2Mothers is responsible for the international distribution of the products made by our mothers.
In Bangladesh, 2Mothers works closely with CJWBD, Corr de Jute Works (for more information see www.cjwbd.com). CJWBD is afairtrade organisation which provides, in collaboration with 2Mothers, training for vulnerable mothers in making living and home products of Jute. 2Mothers is responsible for providing orders for the mothers and the international retail of these products. The mothers make beautiful handmade rugs, baskets, bags and hammocks of jute.
In Ethiopia, 2Mothers works together with Betta Buna (for more information see (www.bettebuna.com ). Betta Buna is an organisation that supports vulnerable women by giving them the opportunity to farm their own coffeebeans and to sell those for a fair price. 2Mothers buys those coffeebeans farmed by vulnerable mothers and sells them on the international market. With this, 2Mothers provides a living wage, farmers supports and entrepeneurship.
The ambition of 2Mothers is to employ more vulnerable mothers each year, and to provide them a sustainable and independent income which improves their living qualities. Alongside, the ambition of 2Mothers is to create profits flowing back to the TTF, to support projects for childern with a disability worldwide.
As a non-profit organisation we highly value support and sponsorships from organisations. One of those organisations is Stichting Helder Gooise Meren (for more information see www.stichtingheldergooisemeren.nl). who provided funding to create our webshop.
