Bamboo is a superb natural material as it grows enormously quickly, twice as fast as a tree, and produces 30% more oxygen into the atmosphere. The bamboo storage containers are made in the bamboo villages in Vietnam, close to the sustainable managed plantations, and the products made here help to employ over 100 families. The designers work directly with the craftsmen, cutting out the middle man so the artisans are paid twice the market rate and ensure working conditions and product quality can be carefully monitored.

Colleen Redit, who began CMCT in 1964, writes, ‘Our motto is, “Where there is no vision the people perish.” My aim was to teach vocational skills to poor communities, to give them independence and self-esteem. I began the Haven of Hope Handicraft Centre (run by CMCT) in a garage in Chennai.’

At the Centre more than 100 women and girls are trained and employed in tailoring and embroidery. There is also a hostel that is home to those who have nowhere else to live.

Since its humble beginnings in a garage, the women are now housed in a purpose built centre, enabling CMCT to minister on a bigger scale and in a pleasant environment.
