Introducing Basha: fighting trafficking and exploitation in Bangladesh

September 13, 2015

At Change Merchants we look for 3 things when sourcing new partners: ethics, high quality and beautiful design. Basha supports a great cause and a solid community program where local partners support a range of the artisans’ needs and aspirations.

The products showcase the Basha artisans' high level of skill and creativity, using pure metals including precious 0.925 sterling silver, copper and brass, and recycled sari material to create unique and elegant pieces. An item from the Basha range will become THE statement piece of your wardrobe!

Why do we love Basha?

Through dignified work, Basha provides a sustainable livelihood for women at risk and survivors of trafficking. Women gain job skills and the opportunity to develop into leaders and entrepreneurs in a healthy, healing environment. Each woman’s story varies, but for each her circumstances have put her at high risk of harm or resulted in her exploitation. Basha works with employees’ children too, aiming to break the cycle of poverty and exploitation.
