Fair Trade

Fair Trade Egypt

This is our favorite place to shop in Cairo. Featuring handmade items from all over the country, this is the best place to pick up authentic gifts in Egypt. We’ve even been out to see carpets being made in Siwa and pottery workshops in Tunis Village.

African Corner Kenya

One of the best places to shop while in Lamu. African Corner features one of a kind handmade jewelry, home goods, recycled items, and artwork from their non-profit, Ubunifu Lamu Initiative.

Natural Lamu Kenya

We love this shop for using all-natural, traditional, and local ingredients in their soaps, bath products, and spices. We can even visit their Shamba where everything is grown and created on-site.

Ride 4 a Women Uganda

This charity in the Bwindi region of Uganda supports women struggling with poverty, HIV, and domestic violence. Our groups can learn to weave baskets and sew clothing alongside the women and purchase handmade products onsite.

San Juan La Laguna

This small village on the shores of Lake Atitlan is abound with women’s cooperatives – weaving, chocolate, coffee, and natural herbs among others. We make this a stop on all of our lake visits to support the women and purchase as much as possible.

Nyamirambo Women’s Center Rwanda

This beautiful workshop and retail store is run by a group of women working to end domestic violence. The array of home goods, children’s clothing, and accessories is truly exceptional and by far the best place to shop in the Kigali area.

Women’s Interlink Foundation India

We have been funding the vocational skills training programs through WIF since our partnership began in 2010. Our travelers love purchasing block printed scarves, screen printed saris, traditional spices, and handmade handbags from the women involved in these programs. It means so much more when you meet and interact with the artisans themselves. We even venture out to the artisan villages of Shantiniketan with some of our groups.
