Fairloom is developing a women’s fair-trade handicraft group in the community of Terra Prometida, Brazil and selling their goods internationally. We are enabling artisans to restructure their own communities to be sustainable, helping them develop and support community education programs, promote reinvestment in their children’s education, while in the process preserving endangered cultural arts. Fairloom also provides children across the globe with access to various world and generational cultures through a program of communication. We are forming a community of artisans that support each other in day-to-day difficulties and celebrate the day-to-day joys. We focus on every individual involved in our programs—and keep the organization small enough so that every board member, director, artisan, and child can feel connected to each other. An essential piece of our mission is to help the spirit of Terra Prometida penetrate the borders of their neighborhood so that it may reach the international community. Annie Doran, Founder and Director of Fairloom lived with the community of Terra Prometida as an exchange student in 2002. She returned to the community a year after graduating from college and in cooperation with a small group of women, founded Fairloom.
