Your Impact

Through our partnership with Parker Clay, your gift helps employ and empower Ethiopian artisans. An estimated 28 million people in Ethiopia live below the international poverty line of $1.90 a day. Each Parker Clay leather and woven good is handcrafted by artisans in Ethiopia who are paid premium wages, guaranteed pension plans, and follow fair trade principles.

In a few short years, they grew from their first hire, into a thriving team of over 40 full-time artisans. Your gift helps create social and economic empowerment in Ethiopia.
