Fighting global poverty through fair and ethical trade

One of the first fair trade organizations in the world, SERRV International began its mission by helping displaced European refugees trade their handcrafts for income after the Second World War. Since then, we've extended our reach to 24 countries worldwide, working to empower over 8,000 artisans and farmers every year by selling their beautiful handcrafts.

Creations of Hope purchases products directly from about 50 artisans for sale in the United States. The artisans are paid in full as soon as their products are finished. There are more than 300 artisans in their town of Croix des Bouquet. We know, with your help, we could do much more. 

Purchase with Purpose.

​

Our designs create impact in artisan communities. When you purchase WorldFinds you're helping empower women, send girls to school and transform communities. Learn more about how fair trade creates a chain of goodness around the world...

LIVING OUR MISSION

Thistle Farms is a nonprofit social enterprise dedicated to helping women survivors recover and heal from prostitution, trafficking, and addiction. We do this by providing a safe place to live, a meaningful job, and a lifelong sisterhood of support.

​

We are proud to offer unique baskets from throughout the African continent. These one-of-a-kind pieces of functional artwork are woven by local African craftspeople who share our commitment to quality.

All Sari Bari products are sewn using an ancient Bengali technique called kantha, a form of embroidery, (pronounced “kahn-thah”) and signed by the artisan according to tradition.

“Kantha has traditionally provided women with space and time of their own with which they created this extraordinary art-form. It is an exclusively woman’s activity where they can interact with other women and gain a sense of self.”—Jasleen Dhamija, from the Craft Council of India
