HumanKind Fair Trade Adds Events
San Luis Obispo, CA – Organization: HumanKind Fair Trade
What she said then: In September 2009, HumanKind Fair Trade held a grand opening celebration for its store at 982 Monterey St. in San Luis Obispo. It opened the doors two months earlier. The nonprofit sells décor, jewelry, toys and foods from artisans in fair-trade cooperatives in a variety of developing countries.
“We’re partners with people from all over the world who can live better because we’re expanding their market,” said Elizabeth Aebischer, a founder and chairwoman of the board of directors. “Our lives have intersected and we are all richer because of our connection.” What she says now: After more than two years, the nonprofit shop has seen “pretty stable” sales.
