Our
policy of paying a fair price for the crafts gives people an alternative to leaving their homes, going to a big city, living in a shanty town, and working
in a sweat shop.

Since 1997 we have been working with artisan cooperatives in
Guatemala. Through fair trade practices we hope to inspire postive change in the world. Not only does paying a fair wage
help families and communites rise above the cycle of poverty, but it
gives them an incentive to continue cultural craft traditions like
weaving, basket-making, pottery-making, woodworking and more.
And by paying a just wage, our customers are ensured a quality
hand-made product.

Buying socially responsible gifts can help empower women, children, and
the
economically disadvantaged--and help
them gain some control over their
lives.
