Why Fair Trade?
It ensures club products were made by artisans in fair working conditions who were being paid a fair wage. Basically, no child gave up his education, home and family to labor in a sweat shop so that your calves can be toasty in a pair of trendy boot cuffs. You can give gifts of handcrafted jewelry and unique home decor with a clear conscience. People say it’s the thought behind the gift that counts most. In this case, we’ve done some of that thinking for you.Meet Bipana -Refugee Project Houston, TX, USA
Bipana
spent the first 20 years of her life in a refugee tent in Nepal due to
religious and ethnic persecution. Her life changed dramatically again when the
United Nations relocated her, along with a few family members to Houston, TX.
She is a young mother who has struggle to acclimate to a new, much different
culture. But just like so many other marginalized women around the world, she
is talented and has so much to offer when given a chance. Bipana, along with a
hundred other women with similar stories, has been crocheting beautiful items
that end up in Fair Trade Friday boxes. She uses the money to buy diapers and
paper products for her two little girls. She is in ESL classes and longs to own
her own business someday.
