Fair Trade Producer Details
Prokritee (formerly MCC) has been working in Bangladesh since 1972, starting and operating small cottage industries in rural areas around the country. These include Action Bag and Eastern Screen Printers, both of whom supply Traidcraft with Handicrafts. There are about 700 people (about 95% are women) who are involved in making a variety of handicrafts and they strive to develop unique fair trade products.

The name 'Prokritee' means 'nature' in Bangla. The organisation aims to create employment for disadvantaged rural women. It tends to work with women who are head of their household (often widowed), and who are landless, with few or no assets.

It sets up and runs cottage industries in rural areas as well as providing marketing and design assistance to 8 enterprises, including Saidpur Enterprises. The aim is that the groups become strong enough to become independant of Prokritee. The Prokritee group members get much needed income, plus a range of social benefits.
