Wild About You Crochet Monkey

This adorable jungle dweller is a great way to show that you're wild about someone-and we're not monkeying around! Artisans hand crochet this pastel-colored Valentine's Day monkey, then stuff him with polyfill stuffing to create a Valentine's Day gift that's fun for anyone.

Who Made It: Your purchase brings hope and opportunity to women in some of the poorest parts of Bangladesh, many of whom are widows, single mothers or heads-of-household with little or no income. Handcrafting income helps these disadvantaged artisans improve their standard of living and send their children to school.

Since 1993, SERRV International has partnered with artisans in Java, providing a long-term trading partnership and interest-free advance payment for our orders. Through sales of their products, artisans from nearly 100 small micro-producers—many family workshops located in small rural villages around Yogyakarta receive access to micro loans, training in financial management, design and marketing skills, and access to international markets to sell their crafts. A design center offers access to designers and training on new trends and production issues, and a social grant funds reforestation, waste treatment, and conservation of vital Indonesian resources.

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.
