New on the FWM website is a page listing some of our partners who develop and wholesale fair trade products from various parts of the world. It also indicates which of their products we carry.
In this space, we'll occasionally profile some of these organizations and the artisans they work with. Today I want to introduce two:
Ganesh Himel Trading markets the products of artisans in Nepal. They "import directly from small cottage industries in Nepal, including development projects working to improve the lives of Tibetan refugees and women. Our goal has always been to support work that enhances people's lives and traditions. We work directly with the producers as a team, expanding each others' talents and ideas." FWM carries their jewelry, placemats, bags, and hand-made paper products (note-books, cards, etc.).
Hope for Women offers products made exclusively by women in India. FWM carries their pressed flower note and greeting cards. Hope for Women reports that "Each Fair Trade greeting card is made of handmade "tree-free" paper faced with real pressed wild flowers and native plantings from the foothills of the Himalayas."
