We are currently buying from different artisan groups and fair trade organizations in India and selling their products in the West. In an effort to raise support for their work and fundraise for the Gujjar Project, we are currently supplying student organizations, churches and community groups in the U.S. with handicrafts produced by established artisan groups here in India for hosting a sale in their community. The project is a unique way to connect handicraft producers in India with consumers in the West and develop support for a new movement of social responsibility and ethical consumerism.
Why Host a Sale?
- Develop support for handicraft artisans and fair trade producers from underprivileged communities in India who are using their handicraft as a way to sustain their livelihood
- Help develop financial support for the Gujjar Project and community development in India
- Raise funds for your organization; a percentage of the proceeds are given to the host organization
Below are a list of the type of products. Additional info about the artisan groups are available on the blog.
