MISSION AND VALUES

fair trade mission statement

Our mission is to help eliminate poverty and promote peace by empowering women through fair trade. We do this by selling beautiful, handcrafted items made in global villages and cities by talented artisans, helping aspiring female entrepreneurs reach a larger audience.  These women dream of a life filled with love, prosperity, and peace. We want to help them get there.
