WorldCrafts, a ministry partner of New Hope Publishers, recently released its new Fall 2011 catalog featuring more than 200 handcrafted, fair-trade gifts from artisans across the globe. A diverse mix of items graces the catalog pages from these categories: Christmas, home decor, stationery, jewelry, accessories, and children’s.

WorldCrafts develops sustainable, fair-trade businesses among impoverished people around the world. The WorldCrafts vision is to offer an income with dignity and the hope of everlasting life to every person on earth.

Artisans represent more than 30 countries on 5 continents: Africa, Asia, Europe, North America, and South America. Many of them are part of the Set1Free campaign, which highlights those groups working to free women involved in or at risk of human trafficking and sexual exploitation.

Lives are changing. Women leaving dire poverty and even sexual slavery are being trained, given fair-trade employment, and told of joy that lasts for eternity. Whole families can escape desperate circumstances.

WorldCrafts encourages its customers to host parties to support the artisans and to raise awareness about fair trade and human exploitation. More information is available at WorldCrafts.org.

For a free catalog, individuals may call 1-800-968-7301 or email customer_service@wmu.org. A pdf of the catalog is also available at WorldCrafts.org.
