Silk Road is a part of the fair trade market. What does that mean? Fair trade means that the artisans are paid not just a fair wage, but a living wage. A living wage is the income needed to break the cycle of poverty, and will support a family with food, shelter, safe drinking water, and education. We also support programs that focus on environmental sustainability and protection. Our women's empowerment projects in Africa, Asia, and the Middle East give independence to women who would not otherwise be able to support their families. The artisans learn to manage money without the difficulties that result from traditional moneylenders. This gives them more income on each handmade item. By purchasing this item, you are directly helping these incredible artisans.
