Since 1993, SERRV International has partnered with artisans in West Bank, providing a long-term trading partnership and interest-free advance payment for our orders. Through sales of their products, artisans develop skills, gain access to international markets, preserve the area's centuries-old craft traditions, and receive vital income. Artisans also work to coordinate and problem-solve with other local artisan groups.
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.
