About Serrv Store - Madison

One of the first fair trade organizations in the United States, Serrv was established in 1949 to help displaced refugees trade their handcrafts for income after the Second World War. As a founding member of both the World Fair Trade Organization and the Fair Trade Federation, we've steadily increased our impact in the fight against global poverty. Today we employ and empower nearly 8,000 artisans and farmers in 24 countries. Serrv International is a nonprofit dedicated to fighting global poverty through fair and ethical trade. At Serrv, we work to fight poverty and improve lives through handwork. Behind every fair trade handcraft we sell, there's a story of positive change. And after nearly 70 years, we've seen what trading fair can do. Marginalized artisans and farmers who are empowered by sustainable employment, fair wages and safe working conditions find security and dignity in their work. They create stronger and healthier communities. They send their children to school. They hand down traditions of cultural craft. You have the power to positively change a life with every purchase. Our collection of 1,000 unique handcrafts represents the best in global artistry and traditional craftsmanship, with each piece carefully inspected to meet Server's quality standards. Shop with purpose. Choose fair.
