Who Made It: Your purchase builds the skills of poor and marginalized artisan groups in East India, enhancing their access to markets and information, and increasing their income and productivity in a sustainable way.

Since 1990, SERRV International has partnered with artisans in East India, providing a long-term trading partnership and interest-free advance payment for our orders. Through sales of their products, artisans from more than 70 craft groups (many are women), receive improved working conditions, stable incomes, and benefits from health campaigns. In addition, artisans receive help in finding needed export outlets for their handcrafts.

SERRV international is one of the first fair trade organizations in the world. They began their mission by helping displaced European refugees trade their handcrafts for income after the Second World War. Since then, SERRV has extended their reach to 24 countries worldwide, working to empower over 8,000 artisans and farmers every year by selling their beautiful handcrafts.
