A key element of the Jolica Difference lies in our commitment to Fair Trade. Fair Trade provides a set of guidelines that help to ensure that artisans truly benefit from the sales of their creations.

How does fair trade benefit artisans? They receive a fair price, commonly referred to as a "living wage", for the products they produce as well as commitment to future orders. This allows them to confidently provide for their families. In addition, they receive a portion in advance to help them purchase the raw materials. Other elements of our commitment as a member of the Fair Trade Federation are available on their website.

Artisans relate to Fair Trade buyers through a local organization called a Producer Group. The producer group is sometimes organized as a cooperative, sometimes as a charity, etc. and provides the critical link in communication. The producer group provides internet access, international banking, product development assistance and other critical business supports. It also provides artisans a variety of social benefits such as schools or medical assistance. It is through the producer group that individual artisans experience the benefits of fair trade.
