Promoting Fair Trade: Thai Tribal Crafts
Slash and burn agriculture is a thing of the past in Thailand, but what about the tribal people who relied on such methods for survival? In their struggle to support their loved ones, these resourceful inhabitants discovered the true value of their craft traditions. With the help of Thai Tribal Crafts, a non-profit agency working to promote fair trade in this region, their handmade goods are marketed to consumers around the world. As a result, many families are free of their dependence on obsolete agricultural practices and able to enhance their nutrition, medical care and education. Visit Novica for a diverse selection of products that are available thanks to Thai Tribal Crafts.
