Fair Trade Bag CORR-The Jute Works is a registered charitable trust. It was established in 1973 to rehabilitate the war-widowed and war-affected poor, rural women of Bangladesh. The aim was to provide these women with work at home, producing handicraft items made from locally available jute. Over the years, The Jute Works range of crafts has widened and now includes terracotta products, which they supply to Traidcraft.     "For economically disadvantaged people in Bangladesh, especially the women, Traidcraft increases the transfer of wealth from the first world by creating opportunities for crafts producers to sell their products." Mrs Bertha Gity Bariol, Jute Works, Bangladesh
