Fair Trade Minneapolis creates jobs in Haiti!
Hi! Come and meet us at these events! We help people in and near Minneapolis learn about their international impact when they choose Fair Trade coffee, tea, chocolate, or gifts. We bring gorgeous art made by parents paid fairly for their work at Papillon Marketplace in Haiti via reuse of metal, paper, and Haitian soil (ceramics): metal wall art; bracelets, necklaces, and earrings made of ceramic and paper-rolled beads; ceramic mugs and vases, Haiti Friends Dolls – and greeting cards made by Mamas at Rosie’s Boutique in north Haiti – to events in and near Minneapolis. We also offer “your choices” of Fair Trade tea and chocolate for free!
