Pebble Child: Empowering Women, Creating Smiles Worldwide

Pebble Child, brought to life by Hathay Bunano, is a heartwarming tale of compassion, creativity, and empowerment. This Bangladeshi initiative has set out to make a difference, one handmade toy at a time. The story begins in 2004 when Samantha Morshed founded Hathay Bunano, a non-profit organization dedicated to providing fairly paid, flexible, and local employment opportunities for rural women facing poverty and adversity.

Pebble Child's journey is a heartwarming testament to the power of entrepreneurship, community, and compassion. With each purchase of a Pebble product, you're not just acquiring a beautiful toy; you're joining a global movement that supports rural women, empowers families, and makes our world a little brighter.

Why we love Pebble

• Pebble empowers and uplifts rural women in Bangladesh, providing them with dignified employment.
• Their toys are lovingly handmade, adhering to fair trade principles and often using organic materials.
• Utilizing their charity, Hathay Bunano, they create products to sell under the brand Pebble, offering a meaningful way to reduce resource-dependent livelihoods and contribute to a greener planet.
• Pebble has a strong focus on supporting children's education, opening doors to a brighter future.
• They hold the prestigious World Fair Trade Organization Certification, ensuring ethical practices and fairness in every aspect of their operation.
