These fairtrade magnets are supplied by World Arts & Crafts, one of the UK’s first fairtrade importers. Now BAFTS-accredited, they work personally very closely with the artisans who make the products, visiting them at least twice a year and making advance payments of 50% to allow the craftsmen to buy raw materials and create a production cycle. This direct trading policy currently provides well-paid, regular work for around 200 families in Thailand, Malaysia, Indonesia and South America. Child labour is never used, and every effort is made to use wood from sustainable sources. In addition, World Arts & Crafts contribute design ideas from their own expertise to help broaden the appeal of the products to the global market, and hence help develop the artisans’ livelihoods.
