At Mo’s Crib, sustainability goes beyond the materials we use and the products we create. For us, it’s also about sustaining people, communities, and dreams. That’s why International Literacy Day holds a special place in our hearts. Literacy is more than just the ability to read and write, it is the foundation of empowerment, opportunity, and personal growth.
Inside our bustling warehouse, where creativity and craftsmanship meet daily, lies something quietly powerful: our very own library. Shelves lined with books stand ready to be picked up by anyone who needs a pause, a spark of inspiration, or simply the joy of being transported into another world.
The idea behind our library is simple yet impactful, knowledge should be shared and made accessible. Our team members are free to grab a book, read during their breaks, or even take one home. It’s not unusual to see an artisan tucked into a corner with a novel, or a colleague flipping through a motivational book before starting their shift. These small moments nurture minds, inspire ideas, and create meaningful conversations long after the last page is turned.
For many of our artisans, who come from diverse backgrounds, the library has become more than just a collection of books, it’s a gateway. It encourages lifelong learning, sparks curiosity, and nurtures confidence. Just as each of our handmade products tells a story, every book in our library opens up new stories waiting to be discovered.
This International Literacy Day, we reflect on how important it is to create environments where people feel encouraged to grow not only professionally but also personally. By fostering a love for reading, we’re also fostering imagination, innovation, and the courage to dream beyond boundaries.
At Mo’s Crib, we believe that literacy is a powerful tool for transformation. It empowers individuals, strengthens communities, and inspires change. Whether it’s weaving sustainable homeware or diving into the pages of a good book, we celebrate the act of creating, learning, and sharing.
So today, we join the world in celebrating literacy, not just as a skill, but as a bridge to a brighter, more sustainable future. And we’re proud that within the walls of Mo’s Crib, that bridge is built one book at a time
