Ethical Trade Co empowers through trade artisans and farmers that are vulnerable to exploitation and human trafficking. This trade relationship provides a livable wage in artisans’ respective communities and empowers them to break out of poverty - the root cause of exploitation and trafficking. Our customers and donors are the heart of this empowerment movement as their conscious purchase and generous donations make all this possible. And because we are a donor-funded nonprofit and fundraise for our wages, every dollar spent in our store creates a maximum return for our partners.
