Fair World Marketplace sells fair trade crafts, coffee and chocolate from worker’s co-operatives, including some women’s co-ops, in more than forty countries. These sales support equal opportunity for women, sustainable job growth, the fight against child labor, and the right of all workers to be able to support themselves and their families through a living wage in dignified and non-exploitative working conditions.
