About The Fair Share

The Fair Share was created to improve the lives of artisans and the sustainability of their work by connecting them with global markets in order to sell their wares under Fair Trade conditions. Our direct supplier, Noah's Ark International Exports, founded in 1986 is a member of WFTO and FTF India, working for the upliftment of artisans and community. The business is based on a hybrid model comprising of two parts: A Fair Trade for-profit that creates a sustainable revenue system for its artisans through export of handmade products and also operates a non-profit, funded solely by the for-profit, that provides health, education, clean water, profit sharing and capacity building initiatives directly to artisans, their families and factory workers. In their home countries, most artisans face problems such as: Extremely low wages Paying commissions to exporters Self-financing raw materials for their work ahead of time These conditions lead to debt, privation and poverty. For most, this destructive economic cycle is nearly impossible to escape. To help solve this problem, the cost of each product on our website is far less than you would pay at regular online retail stores and at the same time, significantly higher than most artisans would receive at home. We sell products in the following categories: Home Décor Kitchen Christmas Decor Garden With every purchase, these artisans are empowered to make positive changes in their lives.Read their story
