AWAZ's efforts to support income generation and fair trade in India are growing. With growing support for our work, we are starting to expand our product line and participate in more exhibitions and sales in the Portland area. Our efforts to create more demand for fair trade handicrafts are directly impacting communities in India by helping to create more employment for the artisan groups we partner with in India. Without orders from their buyers, the artisans have no work and no income to support their family. I recall my visit to one of MESH's partners in a leprosy colony in Delhi. I told the women I would help spread the word about their work in my country. They were happily shouting "more orders, more orders".
AWAZ is working on behalf of the artisans and are keen to increase the market for their work by supplying shops and Fair Trade retailers with their products. We are looking for more partnerships and opportunities to spread the word about fair trade and share our products with the community!! Contact us today to collaborate : Sarah Mitts -
