Fair Trade Alliance Kerala, India

Protecting both elephants and crops with elephant-friendly fencing is just one way that Alliance farmers have used Fair Trade premiums to improve their farming. They have also channeled funds to improve school facilities, support community drinking water programs and control weeds sustainably. Founded in 2006 to gain better and more stable pricing for farmers, Fair Trade Alliance Kerala is now 4,500 member strong. Equal Exchange also sources organic cashews from El Salvador, sold seasonally in bulk at many co-op markets and natural food stores:


APRAINORES, El Salvador

These farmers are proudly reclaiming an island where El Salvador's civil war once raged. After struggling for peasant rights and suffering violent reprisals during the country's 12 year civil war, they received land through a government land reform program. These 60 farmers now grow exquisite cashews in a protected mangrove sanctuary and are learning how to run a Fair Trade farming co-operative.

Please do not wash in a regular washer and dryer, dry clean only. Always iron on the back side of the tapestry and never on the front side with the letters.

Print will come folded for shipping; creases are normal and will fade over time when hanging. To decrease the appearance of the creases quickly, place the canvas print side down on an ironing table and place pillow case over the canvas print then you can iron over the creases. Avoid high levels of heat and keeping the iron in one place for too long. Brush over the creases with the iron and do not firmly press.

Each sculpture is artfully hand-carved from a single piece of Kisii soapstone, found in the hills of southwestern Kenya. Mining the soapstone from surface hills is a labor-intensive process, using little to no machinery. Artisans follow traditional methods passed down through the ages, working with shovels, picks, axes and machetes to carve out large soapstone chunks, which are then carved using small hand tools into beautiful artwork!
