Alternative gifts
Traidcraft Gifts for Life are alternative gifts that will bring joy to a friend or relative and transform the lives of people living in poverty who are working to build better lives through trade.
At Traidcraft Exchange, we work with many gifted people. People who, despite living in poverty, are using their skills to build a better life for themselves and their families through trade. But, however skilled they are, many simply can't get their products to market, or lack the bargaining power to negotiate fair terms of trade.
That's why we would like to offer you the opportunity to buy a gift with a difference. A gift that could help to transform someone else's life – and enable you to give something precious to a friend or relative.
By buying a Gift for Life, you are supporting all of Traidcraft Exchange's work around the world. Choosing a gift from this range will enable Traidcraft Exchange to maintain our commitment to transforming lives through trade across Africa and Asia.
