As a fair trade organization, Gifts and Graces promotes and is committed to the principles of fair trade. Fair Trade is an equitable trading partnership that is based on dialogue, respect, and fairness. By providing opportunities for greater equity in trade that small and marginalized producers would not normally have access to, fair trade is a sustainable and effective strategy for poverty alleviation and development.
