Trades of Hope

Trades of Hope is a missional business that provides a market for handmade products made throughout the world by women who are trying to provide for their families and avoid extreme poverty, abuse, drugs or the sex trade. Everything is fair trade. The principle of fair trade enables people around the world to receive a livable income that covers their basic needs, which include food, shelter, education, and health care for their families. Our artisans make approximately 6 times more than they would normally make in the context of their country. Trades of Hope is not a charity or a not-for-profit. We believe sustainable business is a long-term solution for change over charity. Trades of Hope serves as a link in the chain to create sustainable business for both women in underprivileged countries and women in America.
