SERRV

Here at The Lighthouse we believe in making a difference: locally, globally, and eternally. We recently began selling fair trade goods through a partnership with an organization called SERRV. One of our faithful customers (thanks Christa) suggested we blog about SERRV, allowing you, our faithful friends to know more about it. It's a great opportunity to support The Lighthouse AND fair trade ministries around the world. Here's what they have to say:

"SERRV is a nonprofit organization dedicated to eradicating poverty wherever it resides.

Your purchases give you the chance to have a direct impact on our global market’s great injustices: the inequality in income and quality of life for people living in developing countries. With your help, SERRV becomes a powerful tool for putting right the imbalance in the world. Our work encompasses more than just buying and selling. We offer prepayments so our partners can sustain their business. Create new designs so they can build their markets. Teach new skills so they can develop their craft. Provide grants so they can expand their resources. We support equal rights for women.Guide sustainable development.And of course, pay a fair wage. For 60 years, we have worked on behalf of the world’s Artisans and Farmers. One of the first alternative trade organizations in the world, SERRV is a founding member of the International Fair Trade Association (IFAT) and a member of the Fair Trade Federation (FTF)."
