Can a birthday card change someone’s life? The answer is a definite Yes! when you buy a fair trade greeting card.

Our very popular Cards from Africa are made in Kigali, Rwanda by young adults who have lost their parents to conflict or disease. Making and selling these beautiful cards enables them to provide education, food and shelter for themselves and their brothers and sisters. Each staff member has a story of personal triumph against the odds. Working together with others gives them hope, a purpose in life and a steady income. Each one of our cards is carefully made by hand and signed on the back by the cardmaker. The cards incorporate handmade paper made by recycling office waste so they are also environmentally friendly.

One of our fairly traded cards will do so much more than just send your greetings to your loved one – it has the power to change someone’s life!
