Village Projects

When groups of artisans are formed in villages, they not only begin receiving a fair wage for their work, but they have an opportunity to choose  sustainable development goals for their entire community!  We believe that they should set goals that are important to them, whether it is for clean water, building a school, investing in items they need to make their business grow, farm needs for food production, etc.

Here are some of the projects we have funded to date, and some of the goals our groups are working towards.  We hope you will help them by purchasing their fair trade products.

We absolutely love the beautiful wooden beads used to create this unique bag, handmade by Rose in Kenya.  Each bag is approximately 12x14 inches, has a soft cloth strap, and is lined.  Rose is a single mother with two children in the Kibera slums of Nairobi.  Her bags provide a way for her to care for her children.

Such rich colors in these very traditional Bolga baskets from Bolgatanga, Ghana.  Each basket is a unique work of art, hand woven from elephant grass and natural dyes.  Leather handles add to the durability of these baskets, and as with all Bolga baskets, it can be washed with water without fear of fading.  The round baskets measure approximately 16"x10"
