Natural albizia wood is carved, whitewashed, and painted by hand to create this modern nativity scene, dramatically framed by a star-accented arch. 

Who Made It: Your purchase enables sustainable employment for artisans living in remote areas of Indonesia, reducing migration to cities and allowing families to stay together.

Since 1990, SERRV International has partnered with artisans in Indonesia, providing a long-term trading partnership and interest-free advance payment for our orders. Through sales of their products, artisan groups receive training in financial and business skills, help with medical expenses, emergency disaster relief, school scholarships and loans. Artisans use raw materials from sustainably managed sources and support conservation projects, including tree planting.

SERRV international is one of the first fair trade organizations in the world. They began their mission by helping displaced European refugees trade their handcrafts for income after the Second World War. Since then, SERRV has extended their reach to 24 countries worldwide, working to empower over 8,000 artisans and farmers every year.
