When a customer purchases a fair trade gift from Rosemary Grove, he/she is supporting a group of people who are working to eradicate poverty - globally, nationally, locally.  Your dollar is empowering, liberating & life-saving to many women and girls who are born into unfortunate circumstances. There is no large factory or penny-pinching CEO's between the artisans and their paycheck. The Fair Trade industry allows people to earn a living with dignity and respect.
