More Than Gifts
....trading fairly
More
Than Gifts has
been
established since 2004 and our name was chosen to signify
that customers are purchasing more
than good quality gifts
-
they are also helping to promote and support fair trading.
Fair Trade is more than paying a fair price so producers receive a fair wage for their work (although that is very important), it is also about providing information so that people can make an informed decision which may lead to discouraging the suppliers who choose not to pay their staff fairly or choose to employ children.
Buying fair trade enables artisans to escape poverty through fair treatment, education, training of new skills, additional medical aid and health care facilities.
Our quality products are sourced from 'officially' recognised fair trade sources (i.e. BAFTS /IFAT recognised), some are purchased directly from individual artists or small communities who adhere to fair trade principles and some from companies that financially support other charities (e.g. we are pleased to purchase many of our wooden products from a company that supports the work of
Medecins Sans Frontieres which provides medical aid in more than 75 countries around the world).
More Than Gifts
actively sponsors children from the
Third World through the World Vision Child Sponsorship Scheme which we are delighted to support and promote. If you are interested in this life-changing scheme and wish to make a difference, please visit the
World Vision website.
We are
also
aware of environmental issues around the world and try to purchase from suppliers who use production methods that will have the minimum effect on the environment and use recycled or sustainable materials. We also recycle packaging and other materials whenever possible.
