Mission and Program Overview

Mission

To sell and market products made by low income and impoverished artisans from developing countries and the US. The income they earn allows them to provide support to their families and communities, such as education, medical care, clean water and a myriad of other contributions. In addition, we educate the public, students and our volunteers about our fair trade mission.

Program Services

DescriptionGrantsExpenses
All our expenses and revenue are the buying and selling of products such as jewelry, home goods, accessories, coffee and chocolate made by talented artisans and farmers in developing countries and the US. Sales occur in our one store location in Columbia, MO as well as a small amount at various church and festival locations and online. Besides our paid staff, our store, web program and off-site sales are primarily staffed by volunteers.$119,239-
