We have full spoilers for the June 2016 GlobeIn Benefit Basket!

1) Kitenge Tote by Wildlife Works, Kenya (Retail $20).

From GlobeIn:
Wildlife Works aims to reduce global carbon emissions by preventing deforestation and land degradation. The company currently protects over 500,000 acres of highly threatened Kenyan forest, and the wildlife and communities that inhabit this land.
How do they do it? Here’s a win-win situation: Wildlife Works employs job creation as a conservation strategy, creating jobs that serve as viable alternatives for people who have previously had to destroy their environment just to survive. The organization’s projects create jobs ranging from horticulture to carpentry to conservation, and finances the development of small businesses such as the eco-clothing factory where your tote bag was crafted.
Eco Factory employees like Nora Matunda receive childcare support and are able to send their children to Wildlife Works’ free preschool. Employees like Nora are grateful for the ability to have their young children close by as they work.
New customers can use the coupon code “TRYBENEFIT” to get 25% off their first month of a 3-month GlobeIn Benefit Basket subscription.
What is GlobeIn Benefit Basket?
GlobeIn Artisan Box ($19.95/month) is a monthly subscription box featuring one handcrafted good from a remarkable, remote artisan to give them global reach. Each box is curated around a monthly theme selected by their editor with the aim of helping you experience new and interesting products and cultures. The GlobeIn Benefit Basket is a mini version of the popular GlobeIn Artisan Box ($40/month).
Finally, something I like. I’ve struggled with this box because I don’t feel like there has been too much value in the “item”…I think they’re putting a lot of their price point in the basket (which was cute the first couple of times). I’ve been disappointed recently and stopped by to see the spoiler before canceling. Thank goodness I did – I love this tote.
