This Holiday Consider Simpsons Statues for Charity

Craft VillageWe’ve written about Craft Village before.  Craft Village is an interesting way to fight poverty that plagues African families and particularly artisans who reside there by allowing them to support themselves through the arts.

This year they’ll be donating some of their proceeds to the charity: water organization.  80% of all diseases in the world are caused by unsafe water and poor sanitation.  Charity: water tackles this by bringing safe drinking water to people in developing countries.

Craft Village is donating $20 from every statue purchased to charity: water to help purchase a new well for a community in need.  These Simpsons statues are a Fair Trade  gift and Craft Village is part of The World Fair Trade Organization.  You’ll have the opportunity to continue the positive impact in these African communities who produce the statues but also bring safe water to those in need.

A stone bust of Mr. Burns stares at me every day peaking over my television and hanging out with my tiki statue.  A unique addition to my Simpsons memorabilia, the unique soap stone sculpture was purchased from the previously covered Craft Village.

Craft Village is a unique Fair Trade business with no religious or political affiliations.

We harness the popularity of animation and film to improve the lives of African artisans and their families.

We are a member of the World Fair Trade Organisation. Enjoy your visit to our website!

They are now running contests, deals and free shipping to the US, GB and EU.  Along with discounts if you purchase four statues (20%) or all 12 (30%) there’s a scavenger hunt to find a code hidden on the website.  If you find it you’ll be able to get a free statue with your order.

For those that love the Simpsons, busts or supporting a great cause you should definitely check it out.

Simpsons Soap Stone Carvings

Mr. Burns Soap Stone CarvingThis is very round-about when it comes to comic books but I came across this from Jon Favreau’s Twitter account (the one directing Iron Man, comic connection #1) and is about the Simpsons (who have appeared in comic form, connection #2).

Craft Village is selling soap stone carvings of Simpsons characters.  From their website:

Craft Village is a wonderful program to help those in economically disadvantaged countries support themselves through the arts.  It helps provide African artisans a world wide audience and promotes “fair wages, job creation and poverty alleviation.”

Craft Village UK work directly with craftspeople in poor countries, developing sustainable, copyright protected, animation inspired products.

We believe the popularity of famous cartoons can be harnessed to improve the working and living conditions of African artisans and their families

Krusty the Clown Soap Stone CarvingWe’re proud to supply Simpsons fans with high quality animation art, whilst having a positive impact in Kenya.

Our debut Simpsons range comes with bespoke packaging and an educational booklet showing who makes the statues, how they are made, and where.

It’s goal is to improve the working and living conditions of the craftspeople and their families.

I placed my order recently and within a week I received my bust of Mr. Burns.  The package is wonderful and both it and the bust are of the highest quality.  It’s a very unique item and benefits a great cause.
