Others is the Salvation Army’s global social enterprise, using fair trade as a tool for job creation, empowerment and poverty alleviation. The main goal of OTHERS is creating employment. The core of the concept is that each product that you buy contributes to the creation of fairly compensated work for people who would otherwise have limited opportunities. Production units are in many cases linked with The Salvation Army’s community development programs, where producers receive necessary counselling and support. In this catalog we wish to present a selection of our products and some snapshots from our production. For a comprehensive list of products and prices, please see our distributor’s catalog at the end of this catalog.
ME ET LUCKY – ONE OF OUR A RT I SA NS I came here in 2008, and at that time I was in a very hopeless situation, now I am in a much better situation. I cannot tell you where I would be if I was not in this program. I’m very blessed to learn the skills, I don´t need to ask for help from others. I now earn enough money to maintain a good life. I can take care of my family and bring up my two children. I do not ever want my childhood experiences to be the experiences of my children. I cannot find the words to express fully how I feel, but I feel this is the best thing that I have ever been given.
O UR PR O DUC T IO N
OT HER S I N BA NGLA DES H Others began as a local initiative for poverty alleviation in Bangladesh in 1997, and Bangladesh remains our largest producer country, currently involving around 760 producers (both women and men). Others Bangladesh produces a wide range of hand-loomed products, embroidered products, jute products, wooden products, natural fibre and leaf products, and knitted items. Production groups include women’s groups in and around the capital city Dhaka and in a number of villages in Central and Western parts of the country, as well as a handloom unit, carpentry unit and sewing unit in the city of Jashore. Some producers are recruited through specific community development projects run by The Salvation Army, such as The Salvation Army’s rehabilitation center in Old Dhaka which provides holistic care and training for women who have been victims of trafficking or exploitation. The Others operation is followed up by The Salvation Army’s local team in Bangladesh, as well as partners from the Others Global network coordinated by The Salvation Army’s International Headquarters.
OT HER S I N KENYA Others’ first contacts with Kenya were in 1999, with formal connections to some producer groups starting from 2004. Others currently works with nine different production groups in Kenya, located in both urban and rural areas. Products build on locally available raw materials and artisan’s skills, and include bead/wire products, items made from sisal and leaf, as well as items made from recycled materials such as plastic and paper. Most producers are also linked with savings- and loans groups overseen by The Salvation Army locally. In 2020 the partnership with Kenya was expanded to also include small-scale coffee farmers in the area of Matungulu. The first coffee was launched in Norway Christmas 2020, and the goal is to build a long-term partnership to help raise the standard of living for the Matungulu farmers.

D I GNITY, I N DEPENDENC E, A ND HO PE
WE BELIEVE THAT ALL PEOPLE HAVE EQUAL DIGNITY, and that everyone shares the same desire to provide for themselves and their family. However, far too many lack the opportunity to find a job, or are forced to work under poor working conditions. By creating flexible jobs with fair wages and access to international markets, we wish to do our part in giving more people access to decent employment. A particular priority is to ensure that women are given access to paid employment and the opportunity to earn their own income. Our producers are primarily recruited through The Salvation Army’s local programs. Others has active production groups in Bangladesh and Kenya. Others partners with over 1000 artisans. All products are handmade. Monira is an example of how Others empowers women. Monira oversees product production in Bangladesh. She teaches women new skills and has supported her own family through her work with Others. Monira was the first woman to purchase and drive a motor-bike in her community. Others connects people across borders and creates opportunities. Trade for Hope today! Inspiring locally. Empowering globally. Shop at: WWW.TRADEFORHOPE.COM
