Hello…
We believe that poverty and other social problems can be solved through socially conscious business, and our friends at Barrington Gifts are doing just that! By hiring employees with handicaps that would otherwise prevent employment, they provide a livelihood for these workers and their families. We love you, Barrington Gifts!
Where?
Xiamen, China
What?
Upscale leather bags
Why?
Making a conscious effort to hire and train handicapped workers, such as workers who are deaf-mute. Such handicaps make it very difficult to find meaningful employment, but the owners and managers believe it is important to serve the deaf-mute community and others with similar handicaps. It is their social mandate – and they do a great job addressing it.
