Wooden 3D Puzzle - Fish

Our Price: $22.00

6" long, 4" high, 1.75" deep. Ecowoods works with young artisans in La Paz, Bolivia who are economically disadvantaged and lack the education to find employment in a difficult job market. Young adults, both men and women, who are fortunate to find their way into the Ecowoods' program receive valuable on-the-job training.

Each is paid an excellent wage, and many save money to further their education while developing their woodworking skills.

These puzzles are crafted from scraps discarded by larger companies who are sourcing their wood from a sustainable conservation program. The ecological finish is made from natural linseed and eucalyptus oils, and bees wax.

what is fair trade?

Fair trade is a just, economically and environmentally sound global cooperative between artisans, traders, farmers, buyers, and consumers. By selling directly to buyers in North America, producers in Africa, Asia, Latin America, and other developing countries receive a reasonable living wage for their goods instead of a low, undeserving price.

Workers and their families not only benefit, but the profits are often reinvested in the community to improve health and education. Communities learn the advantage of grassroots development and environmental sustainability. Fair trade builds relationships and encourages gender equality among the producers; the products preserve traditions and cultures. This partnership eliminates government intervention and inflated consumer costs.

Fair Trade Winds provides an outlet for consumers to buy these handicrafts and unique products from a diverse group of artisans. We promote businesses and farming practices that are environmentally sustainable.
