CREATING JOBS TO END POVERTY
Others is a Salvation Army initiative using fair trade principles to create jobs and contribute to empowerment and poverty alleviation. We sell beautiful products that are carefully handcrafted by our artisans in Bangladesh and Kenya.
Others artisans are engaged through relationships with local Salvation Army programs that focus on economic development in rural and urban settings. Examples include self-help groups focusing on women’s empowerment and projects for rehabilitation of sex workers or trafficking victims.
Through training, flexible working conditions and fair wages, our aim is to help our artisans to become more independent, helping them to provide for their families, improve their living conditions, and put their children through school. When supporting Others, you contribute to sustainable development in Bangladesh and Kenya.
We are pleased to share with you our New Spring/Summer 2025 Retail Catalog.

Many
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 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 800 artisans. All products are handmade.
The materials for Others products are locally and sustainably sourced. We strive to combine the best of local hand-craft skills and traditions in our products.
Others connects people across borders and creates opportunities.
Trade for Hope today! Inspiring locally. Empowering globally.
