After dabbling in various types of crafts, Marcela found a particular talent for glass making, building a sustainable business to support her family as well as the families of others who she has trained to help make glass products, specializing in fashion jewelry. As a member of the WFTO, Marcela operates the business under the auspices of fair trade, ensuring that all of the artisans and craftspeople are paid a fair price for their work.

ABOUT US
Gifts With Humanity is a community of artisans from across the globe, representing over 1000 artisans in 20 countries. More than a decade has passed since we sold the first soapstone sugar bowl to a New York Times writer and crossed our fingers that it would make it safely from Kenya (it did and the article was very positive). We now work with more than 40 fair trade organizations, co-ops, family-owned businesses and non-profits in more than 20 countries that create beautiful handcrafted products. Our relationships are built on fair trade principles, whether that means paying producer partners at least 50% in advance on order or ensuring that artisans work in safe conditions and earn a living wage.
We are proud members of the Fair Trade Federation.
