How Your Ethical Shopping Empowers Women Like Sabita to Thrive

When you choose fair trade products, you’re doing more than buying beautiful, handcrafted goods — you’re directly supporting artisans like Sabita, a skilled hand-stitcher from Nepal. Sabita’s story is one of resilience, determination, and how ethical shopping creates meaningful change.

Sabita’s Journey: From Uncertainty to Opportunity

Sabita works hard, crafting stunning hand-stitched textiles to support her family. Her husband, after returning to Nepal from working abroad, struggled to find work. Together, they invested their savings and took out a loan to purchase a taxi, believing it would provide a stable income. But then the COVID-19 lockdowns hit, and everything came to a halt.

With no income from the taxi, the family faced mounting worries about rent, loan repayments, and even food. Sabita, determined to care for her 10-year-old son, turned to her work as an artisan.
