Fair Trade gifts help to lift artisans from poverty through a positive trading environment.
(1888PressRelease) May 14, 2007 - Martin Luther King Jr. once said, "Before you've finished your breakfast this morning, you'll have relied on half the world.” An interesting thought.
And a depressing one, when we realize that those very people we've relied on to help get us out of the door in the morning - the folks who grew our coffee beans, harvested our tea, made our t-shirt, shoes and jewelry - are most likely not the recipient of a fair wage or decent working conditions. 1.3 billion people in our world live in absolute poverty with many living on less than $1 a day.
Now Karma Market is doing their part to help change this by offering gifts that are "Fair Trade" to ensure that artisans are paid a living wage and that their products aren't made using forced or exploitative child labor.
Karma Market’s main focus is to improve the lives of artisans worldwide by generating awareness around Fair Trade and making the hip and beautiful handcrafted work of the artisans more accessible to the average consumer. They aim at growing demand for fair trade goods by offering a unique collection of beautifully handcrafted gift items, jewelry and fashion accessories from artisans around the world.
“By bringing Karma Market’s fairly traded gifts to a mainstream public, we are giving people the option to make purchases that reflect their values”, said Rebecca Berggren, founder of Karma Market. “So many people want to know how they can make a difference in the world. But most want it to be easy and something they can incorporate into their everyday lives affordably. The fair trade model impresses upon people that we are able to help those in need not only through charity, but also by incorporating ethically sourced goods into our everyday lives. “
