Opportunity... an open door

Most of us grow up expecting our lives to be full of opportunity. But for many women and girls in developing countries the open door of opportunity is seldom seen. Extreme poverty, lack of education, life in a remote area, early marriage or child-bearing... all of these limit the possibilities available to our sisters around the world.

The Blue Door creates opportunities for women by nurturing women-run fair trade businesses and finding a market for their products among women who care, who enjoy beautiful things even more when they have a sense of connectedness with their sisters who created them.

We invite you to open each of the doors below, to discover the handmade products, see the beautiful faces, and read the bittersweet stories of women and children whose lives are touched by The Blue Door.
