Why we do what we do and who benefits…
Your fair trade purchase of handmade baskets, jewelry, purses, bags, home decor and other unique gifts helps improve the lives of thousands of artisans worldwide.
Today, more than 1 billion people live on less than one dollar a day and lack clean water, health care, and education. Conventional trade often minimizes opportunities and exploits vulnerable producers and environment. Fair Trade offers a business model that empowers the producers; giving marginalized people access to the market and increased independence. Fair Trade is a powerful, sustainable tool for boosting standards of living in the developing world.
