Help us help our artisan partners

We know there are many organizations calling for help and requesting donations. We want to offer you a very easy and direct way to have an immediate impact on a specific community in Nepal that is very dear to us.

Next Saturday, May 9th is World Fair Trade Day. From now through next Saturday One World Fair Trade will donating 20% of all proceeds both in-store and on-line to the Conscious Connection Foundation, founded by our longtime Fair Trade artisan partner Ganesh Himal Trading for immediate Earthquake relief.

Pictured below is the before and after images of the Baseri Health Clinic, located in a village of Dhadagaun Baseri, 25 miles from the epicenter of the earthquake that hit Nepal on April 25. The village and the clinic were destroyed in the earthquake, and although everyone is safe, the population is vulnerable and needs immediate aid.

In addition to selling products directly from artisans in Nepal, One World Fair Trade is proud to have donated funds to the Conscious Connections Foundation and Ganesh Himal Trading to help build this clinic in 2010 and we are sad to see that is is now gone.

The clinic is well-known in the area.  Proceeds from your purchase and our donation will be used for immediate relief (food, shelter, water & emergency supplies) by working with outside organizations who can access the area and then will work to replace needed livestock and in time, rebuild the Baseri Health Clinic.

We are all deeply saddened to see the effects of the recent earthquake in Nepal but find hope in knowing there are ways we can help.  Fair Trade relationships are networks of intimate relationships that allow our artisan partners have to quickly spread the word to mobilize a relief effort and generate much needed funds to rebuild the lives of many.  

Spreading the word can help with immediate needs and the continued sale of Fair Trade products from artisans in Nepal will contribute to long-term rebuilding plans so that they can get back on track supporting their families and rebuilding their lives.

Together we can help this community.

Fair Trade Relationships Help

We are all deeply saddened to see the effects of the recent earthquake in Nepal but find hope in knowing there are ways we can help.  Fair Trade relationships are networks of intimate relationships that allow our artisan partners to quickly spread the word to mobilize a relief effort and generate much needed funds to save & rebuild the lives of many.  

Spreading the word can help with immediate needs and the continued sale of Fair Trade products from artisans in Nepal will contribute to long-term rebuilding plans so that they can get back on track supporting their families and rebuilding their lives.

While conditions of homes and workshops remain unclear, purchasing handmade products from Nepal will help to provide income and normalcy.  It empowers our artisans to look ahead, and it assures them that though their lives feel upside-down, the fair trade community will be there to support them.

Donate directly to the Baseri Emergency Relief Fund

In 2010, Ganesh Himal Trading raised funds to build a clinic in the Baseri region of Nepal. The clinic, as well as surrounding homes were leveled during the earthquake and are now no more than a pile of rubble. Ganesh Himal is now collecting donations for their Conscious Connections Foundation to be used for immediate relief (food, water, emergency supplies) working with outside organizations who can access the area and then will work to replace needed livestock and rebuild the clinic in time.
