PROJECTS
Before the Foundation was set up, we had been engaged in and supported a number of initiatives that may inspire all of you to embark on similar “small” but mighty efforts.
They include the following:
- One click for the forest – an organisation with the mission of preserving old-growth forest in Sweden
- Karin Larsson’s textiles collection in Sundborn – the home of Carl and Karin Larsson, a privately-owned museum, in Sundborn in the Swedish province of Dalarna
- Agrocel – an organisation in Gujarat that teaches farmers how to grow cotton organically
- Women embroidering – a network in Afghanistan that enables women to support their families in that troubled country by doing embroidery work
Many, many more organisations have received funding from us via GUDRUN’S GOOD DEED, our annual Christmas initiative.
In addition, Gudrun Sjödén employees can apply for scholarships that our company awards internally. The fundamental idea behind the scholarships is that all of us should get to know the world – meet our customers, understand our cultures, enjoy everything that is beautiful and inspiring in our world.
