Global Affairs

Colours the world

Caring for people and productsSince Global Affairs was founded, we have been designing and selling great products while taking care for the people that make them and for the environment. A Global Affairs product is always colourful and of course all our products, especially for the little ones, meet the highest European safety standards (EN 71,1-3).

Yet, we want more; we want to make the world as colourful as our products. That’s why we have our own Global Affairs standards.

The Global Affairs Cares principles:• Fair prices for the products we import.• Encouraging our suppliers to employ more women,

who can then work close to home. • Good working conditions and never using

child labour.• Long-term relationships with our suppliers• Use of recycled and sustainable materials as much

as possible

We constantly try to improve our standards. Over the new few years we will ask our suppliers to help us make the world a little brighter. How we will do this? We will form short-term and long-term strategies with our suppliers.

What are our fair and green long-term objectives?* Working as much as possible with bio-cotton.* Using recycled materials as much as possible* Introducing new environmentally friendly packaging* Starting new local projects with our current suppliers * Searching for new partnerships

Caring for ChildrenWe want to get all children smiling and with a little help, every child can do just that. That’s why Global Affairs donates products to charity organizations in The Netherlands and in the Philippines.

Stichting KalingaMore than 30.000 people live in Payatas, the biggest garbage dump of Manila (Philippines). They earn their money by separating waste. Among them there are many children. Kalinga Foundation helps these children through structural help with self-reliance as its main goal. Kalinga believes that education is a basic need and therefore started the Papaya School. The Papaya School is a primary school where children get substantial education and a healthy meal every day. As primary school is just not enough, students can apply for a scholarship to continue their education with the help of Kalinga Foundation.

Global Affairs frequently donates products, some of which are given directly to the children in the Philippines and some are sold in the Netherlands. These earnings will be used to improve the education at the Papaya School.

For more information visit www.kalinga.nl

Stichting Jarige JobThe ‘Jarige Job’ (Birthday Boy/Girl) Foundation wants to reduce the gap between richer and poorer children as much as possible. They make it possible for children between 4-12 years to celebrate their birthdays, if their parants can’t afford to buy presents themselves. ‘Jarige Job’ doesn’t give money but instead gives a ‘Birthday Box’ with all the necessities for a real celebration. This ‘Birthday Box’ includes festive decorations, goodies for at home, treats to share with the child’s class and, of course, a nice present.

For more information visit www.jarige-job.nl

Stichting Sinterklaas bestaatThe charity is committed to give an average of 2,750 underprivileged children a great ‘Pakjesavond’(the night when St. Nicholas hands out presents to the children in The Netherlands). In cooperation with the Red Cross, the foundation organizes an annual ‘Sinterklaasfeest’ (St Nicholas party) in 12 to 15 cities throughout the Netherlands, with a bag full of lovely gifts for these children.

ChinaAll our crochet items are handmade of 100% organic cotton yarn. They are handmade by women in the Jiangsu provence of China. They can do this work at home - or close to home – so they don’t have to move to the city to find a job between the harvesting seasons. This way they can stay close to their family all year round.

ThailandWe work with a small scale family company, in Thailand where all our handmade products are tested and certified.

IndiaOur soft toys are made In Kolkata (India) where we have a project to improve the social independence of women. They used to be completely depending on their husbands, but now these women make their own money. They feel important, independent and because they bring in a salary, their children don’t have to work and can go to school. So next time you buy one of our soft toys or handmade products, you help them a little as well...
