FAIR TRADER

Through Mindful Spending, we aim to slowly harness a small portion of the world's collective purchase power to support Fair Trade companies.

Kateri Tekakwitha Fund

Part of Mission Guatemala, the Kateri Tekakwitha Fund sells Fair Trade products at reasonable prices. Mission Guatemala buys directly from small farmers and artisans in Guatemala, and unlike corporations (e.g. Starbucks), they do not turn around and excessively mark-up the prices of these Fair Trade products. We suggested that they consider participating in the KPFA Holiday Crafts Fair: with their products selling at reasonable prices, they would do well at this popular SF Bay Area event.

Check out their products here. We recently bought some Fair Trade coffee and a bag!
