Fair Traders is an exceptional source for unique handmade gifts, jewelry, home decor, art and

sculpture, textiles, serve ware, and personal accessories representing the diverse cultures of

artisans in Asia, Africa, Latin America and the Middle East. As one of the world's largest fair

trade organizations, Fair Traders is a founding member of the World Fair Trade Organization

(WFTO). They strive to improve the livelihood of thousands of disadvantaged artisans in 38

countries. Fair Traders accomplishes this by establishing a sustainable market for handmade

products in North America and building long term buying relationships in places where skilled

artisan partners lack opportunities for stable income. Product sales help pay for food, education,

healthcare and housing for artisans who would otherwise be unemployed or underemployed.

The company encourages artisan partners to use environmentally friendly processes, sustainable

natural resources, and recycled materials to ensure each product offered has been crafted

responsibly. Fair Traders is a nonprofit organization, and has been named one of the World's

Most Ethical Companies on multiple occasions.
