About One World Projects

At One World Projects, our mission is to create viable economic alternatives for artisans and their families, and to expand the reaches of ethical and fair trade to include compassionate trad, which addresses the most pressing issues that face mankind today: protecting the environment, women’s & children’s rights, health care, education, helping those in war torn countries, supporting indigenous people, and much more. Our focus is, and always has been, firmly on the welfare of our artisans. We accomplish these goals by importing jewelry, clothing, handbags, house wares, fashion accessories, toys and other gifts from artisans in developing countries across Latin America, Asia and Africa, and then by redistributing those crafts to wholesale buyers and retail consumers across the United States. All of our items are handmade using sustainable methods and materials and fair trade imported, which means artisans are paid a fair and living wage for their work. Since 1992, our network has grown to include more than 11,000 artisans from different parts of the world. Read their story
