Guinea, ranked in the bottom five countries in terms of standard
of living and other development indicators, desperately needs
good, fair trading partners and other forms of sustainable economic
development. All of the products listed under the below links
are made by Guinean artisans working both as individuals and cooperatives
using almost exclusively local materials. By purchasing these
goods, you are directly contributing to a Guinean's family income.
By cutting out the middleman and buying directly from the artisan,
I can guarantee that these are all procured at fair prices to
the producer as well as the consumer.
Please
note that this is but a sample of the available goods. Cloth,
clothing, shoes and more can all be made to order - name your
style, color, size. Special orders will be subject to a service
charge.
*Please
note that we are in between shipments... Feel free to place an
order with the understanding that it will have to wait for the
next shipment of stock.
