Asha Handicrafts, located in India, works to empower local craftspeople by providing them with fair wages, safe working conditions and access to credit. As a Fair Trade organisation, they ensure that traditional arts and crafts are sustainably produced, promoting sustainable livelihoods for the producers and their families. Through its work, Asha Handicrafts strives to create a network of responsible consumers who value the communities behind their purchases. This is achieved through connecting handicraft producers with buyers on an individual level, giving each producer an opportunity to tell their story and introduce the artisans behind their products. By creating these direct relationships, Asha Handicrafts hopes to increase awareness of Fair Trade practices and encourage conscious consumerism that fairly compensates the artisans for their hard work.

Having been a small business owner for most of my adult life, I understood the struggles that impact small business owners and artisans. My vision was to create a space that could positively impact those around me and throughout the world to create a substantive impact! Human kindness is often missing in today's busy world. If we could each make small lifestyle changes such as making purchases that support each other, how much could we positively impact one another and the lives and communities we are in?
