Give a gift this holiday season that makes a difference and BUY FAIR TRADE!
The Fair Trade Holiday Gift Season is finally here and we will be participating in a variety of Holiday Bazaars around the Portland area this year to share with the community more about our work. We have been busy working with our partner organizations in India to prepare for this year and have a great assortment of handwoven textiles, natural dye woolen scarves, jewelry, kids toys, greeting cards, clothing and more to offer.
It's the perfect time of the year to buy unique, eco-socially friendly gifts to share with loved ones and use your dollar to give back to those in need. The artisans we work with are from low income communities in India and their craft work helps to sustain their livelihood and care for their family. The majority of the artisans we work with are women and by helping to create demand for their work, we are helping them to become income earners and improve their status in their community.
Admire the beautiful craftsmanship, trace your fingers over the embroidery and feel like you've helped someone by coming to one of our Holiday Bazaars this year and learning more about our work:
