Welcome to our global maker-to-market movement where, together with 20,000 artisans, we ignite social change. We create opportunities for individuals, families, and communities in developing countries to thrive through strong relationships, fair wages, safe working conditions, and sustainable practices.
The best part of waking up ... is all-natural handmade soap with a coffee scent and exfoliating grounds. This soap was created by makers traditionally belonging to a disdained caste of leather workers. Working with fair trade partner Palam Rural Centre and empowered with income-earning opportunities, people in this once-marginalized group have been able to purchase modest homes and send their children to school.
One bar of soap sends one child to school for one day.
