T & C Imports/ Frog Tree Yarns practices Fair Trade by:

· Paying a fair price, a living wage, for the local community
· Providing equal employment opportunities for all people
· Engaging in environmentally sustainable practices
· Building long-term trade relationships with the producers and co-ops
· Not allowing forced labor or exploitative child labor
· Offering financial and technical assistance to producers whenever possible

Primarily, women in developing countries produce our goods, 70% of all craft artisans are women. We strive to provide a way for women to provide for their families' basic needs and invest in community development, yet still be able to maintain their traditional lifestyles with dignity.
