Buy The Change is a socially conscious brand focused on commerce as a long term, grassroots, solution to issues faced by women in the developing world. By partnering with women and non profit organizations to bring their handmade products to the American market, we offer our customers the opportunity to have a direct impact. Our products are

ethically made and always fairly traded. As a registered B-Corp (Benefit

Corporation) we are focused on social change over profit and creating positive outcomes for everyone we do business with; including artisans, employees and

customers.

Every product we sell is handmade by a woman facing severe economic and social struggles, from human trafficking and war, to extreme poverty. With income,

woman can gain safety, feed and educate their children, reduce

dependency and have hope for the future. A girl whose mother has income is much less likely to die of malnutrition, be taken out of school or be trafficked into the sex trade. Although we do carry

a few products made in family run workshops, or workshops that also employ men, our products are almost exclusively

handmade by women.
