Float-rope is used by lobstermen to tether multiple traps together on the ocean floor. The problem with float-rop is that it can entangle whales. Maine lobstermen are now required to replace their float-rope with sink-rope. The Gulf of Maine Lobster Foundation purchases the old float-rope from the lobstermen, keeping the huge quantities out of the Maine landfills. The rope is then reclaimed and woven into virtually indestructible doormats by craftspeople in Maine. Maine Float-Rope Co. donates a percentage of their sales to the Gulf of Maine Lobster Foundation. They also support programs that protect the Northern Right Whale and research that promotes sound environmental practices for the state of Maine.
Colorful woven doormats in beautiful muted stripes. These unique mats are made from reclaimed lobster trap float rope, then woven by hand by local crafters in Maine. Colors vary so each is one-of-a-kind. 18" x 30". Reversible and easily cleanable. And, yes, they float!
It does take a village -- 13 villages to be exact -- to produce Under the Nile's "Veggin Out" collection of educational fruit and veggie teether toys. By bringing work to 13 of the poorest villages in rural Egypt, women are able to be at home with their children and make a living wage. The women from each village are taught how to make one of the fruit or veggie toys. Each village is then responsible for producing that toy and paid fair wages for their work. Under the Nile provides these women and their families with a new-found economic opportunity as well as providing the community self-sufficiency and sustainability. Global Family Projects are funded by matching 2% of Under the Nile sales with 2% from their farm partners. This unique form of funding fights poverty, making a significant impact by supporting communities in need.

The Atuto Project, started by the owners of Kalalou, was set up to help the children in the tiny Honduran village where some of Kalalou's products are made. Many of the children do not have parents, did not eat regularly or go to school. With the help of Kalalou, using the proceeds from the sale of the Sabana Grande kid hooks, a daycare and after-school center has been built. All proceeds go directly to the Atuto Project that cares for and feeds these children every day.
Not only are these wall hooks totally unique and a great accent for a kid's room, but they also give back in so many ways to the children of the Honduran village in which they are handcrafted. Each face has its own personality. Sales benefit Doug & Susan's Atuto Project. Set of 4 wall hooks. 9" - 12".
