Gifts with Humanity - a Global Crafts Co.

I've come across another beautiful Fair Trade online gift website that I felt the need to share with you... Gifts With Humanity.  Taken from their "About Us" page:
Gifts With Humanity is the retail division of Global Fair Trade Crafts Inc DBA Global Crafts.

Global Crafts was founded in 2002 by Kevin Ward and Renice Jones, who met as volunteer computing teachers in Kenya realized the capacity of the web to help individual artisans.  After three years in Kenya they came to the USA and setup Global Crafts, initially as a small Fair Trade retail store. It soon became apparant that to sell in volume and change the lives of the artisans, the wholesale business would have to grow.
Starting in a garage at home Global Crafts has become a $1 million a year outlet for Fair Trade artisan handicrafts. We look forward to continued growth in the next few years and hope we are making a small difference.
