Did you get everything you wanted for Christmas? Did you get a top or an outfit that could use an accessory, or do you still have a gift to buy? Then please visit 1000 Shillings.
1000 Shillings is a fair trade company. That means that the artisans or crafters get a fair price for their products, which is not that common in third world countries. What makes 1000 Shillings different (and better!) is that for one, they reinvest in the women and artisans. They also work to connect the shopper with the artisan, so that your purchase has a small town or local feel to it, even if it came from around the world.
And their things are cute too! Take a look.
They work with six single mothers in the Namatala slum, Uganda.
