FASHION A BETTER WORLD
Partnering with Mata Traders mean partnering with Fair Trade Certified artisan co-ops across India and believing in "fashion for a better world". Mata works with artisans in rural areas, tribal villages and inner-city slums to create their products and artisans are not only paid a fair wage for their work, but they also:
- learn craftsmanship and personal and professional business processes
- receive educational resources they likely would not have access to otherwise
- are empowered to work outside of the home to become entrepreneurs
- receive health care, paid maternity leave, retirement pensions and daycare
- utilize a worldwide platform to celebrate their traditional craft
- understand how their work can end poverty and child labor
Can you see now how your purchase of something as simple as a pair of earrings can change the world? It's awesome isn't it?!
