Global Affairs
Colours the world Caring for people and products
Since Global Affairs was founded, we have been designing and selling great products while taking care for the people that make them and for the environment. A Global Affairs product is always colourful and of course all our products, especially for the little ones, meet the highest European safety standards (EN 71,1-3). Yet, we want more; we want to make the world as colourful as our products. That’s why we have our own Global Affairs standards. The Global Affairs Cares principles: • Fair prices for the products we import. • Encouraging our suppliers to employ more women, who can then work close to home. • Good working conditions and never using child labour. • Long-term relationships with our suppliers • Use of recycled and sustainable materials as much as possible We constantly try to improve our standards. Over the new few years we will ask our suppliers to help us make the world a little brighter. How we will do this? We will form short-term and long-term strategies with our suppliers. What are our fair and green long-term objectives? * Working as much as possible with bio-cotton. * Using recycled materials as much as possible * Introducing new environmentally friendly packaging * Starting new local projects with our current suppliers * Searching for new partnerships
Caring for Children
We want to get all children smiling and with a little help, every child can do just that. That’s why Global Affairs donates products to charity organizations in The Netherlands and in the Philippines.

Stichting Kalinga
More than 30.000 people live in Payatas, the biggest garbage dump of Manila (Philippines). They earn their money by separating waste. Among them there are many children. Kalinga Foundation helps these children through structural help with self-reliance as its main goal. Kalinga believes that education is a basic need and therefore started the Papaya School. The Papaya School is a primary school where children get substantial education and a healthy meal every day. As primary school is just not enough, students can apply for a scholarship to continue their education with the help of Kalinga Foundation.
Stichting Jarige Job
Global Affairs frequently donates products, some of which are given directly to the children in the Philippines and some are sold in the Netherlands. These earnings will be used to improve the education at the Papaya School.
The ‘Jarige Job’ (Birthday Boy/Girl) Foundation wants to reduce the gap between richer and poorer children as much as possible. They make it possible for children between 4-12 years to celebrate their birthdays, if their parants can’t afford to buy presents themselves. ‘Jarige Job’ doesn’t give money but instead gives a ‘Birthday Box’ with all the necessities for a real celebration. This ‘Birthday Box’ includes festive decorations, goodies for at home, treats to share with the child’s class and, of course, a nice present.

Stichting Sinterklaas bestaat
The charity is committed to give an average of 2,750 underprivileged children a great ‘Pakjesavond’(the night when St. Nicholas hands out presents to the children in The Netherlands). In cooperation with the Red Cross, the foundation organizes an annual ‘Sinterklaasfeest’ (St Nicholas party) in 12 to 15 cities throughout the Netherlands, with a bag full of lovely gifts for these children.

China All our crochet items are handmade of 100% organic cotton yarn. They are handmade by women in the Jiangsu provence of China. They can do this work at home - or close to home – so they don’t have to move to the city to find a job between the harvesting seasons. This way they can stay close to their family all year round.

Thailand
We work with a small scale family company, in Thailand where all our handmade products are tested and certified.
India
Our soft toys are made In Kolkata (India) where we have a project to improve the social independence of women. They used to be completely depending on their husbands, but now these women make their own money. They feel important, independent and because they bring in a salary, their children don’t have to work and can go to school.

Custom made Working together with partners At Global Affairs, we love to collaborate with our partners. We like to design our own products, but we like creating special items for you just as much. We can add just your label to customize a bib, or we can design a whole new product for you like the plane coatrack for the Rijksmuseum. Please let us know what your special wishes are and we will create something custom-made, just for you.

OFFICE TEAM Annette Klein Bog
Ilanit Schoon - Welling
Marije Couprie
About 20 years ago, Annette travelled to India and China regularly and enjoyed it very much. Her love for these countries and the bright & vibrant colours used by both Chinese and Indian craftsmen inspired her to start Global Affairs.
You will often see Ilanit at the trade fairs, especially in Germany as she loves to speak German. She answers all customers’ questions with a big smile and takes care of their orders. She is always thinking of new concepts for custom made items for museums, shops, events and more.
The creative one, she is always searching for new ideas for products. She is also the stylist of our trade fair booths and of the next catalog. Marije is inspired by the simple things in life and always manages to turn nothing into something.
Founder and multi-tasker
An engaged entrepreneur, she is always curious and interested in history, new initiatives, stories, food and more. Everything inspires her, even the small things in life, she is the engine behind Global Affairs. Nowadays, Global Affairs develops and produces colourful interior accessories and children’s’ toys. Designs are made in the Amsterdam office and sent abroad for production.
Account- & our optimist projectmanager
As a true “Amsterdammer” she considers Artis (Amsterdam Zoo) an extension of her back garden and she cycles on her bike, with a big basket in front.
