Purchase handmade products from artisans directly in the developing world.MissionWe want to connect you directly to small businesses in the developing world. No more middle men: we want you to be able to buy handmade goods from the artisans who produce themDescriptionHow it all works:We have coordinated with artisans in the developing world to manage an online shop: they created their storefronts, posted their products, and uploaded their stories. They did this all in their native language and then the website auto-translated the text for you to view. In fact, you can even message them and we will auto-translate that too.When you purchase a product, we send the artisan a text message reminder to ship your order. Once they receive the text, they go to a local internet cafe to print the order info from our website. With the info in hand, they package your order for delivery and then drop it off at a local post office. In a short period of time, your products are on your doorstep.It goes to show just how technologically interconnected we really are.
