Shop Aid Through Trade
Glass beaded jewelry made by female artisans in Nepal, which betters their lives by providing dignity & an income.
Aid Through Trade™ was founded in 1993 by former Peace Corp volunteer and teacher, Damian Jones. While in the Peace Corp, Damian became inspired by the artisans of the Kathmandu Valley and throughout the country and intrigued by the use of glass beads in the Nepalese culture.
Upon his return to the United States, Damian began to conceive the idea of working with artisans in a fair, dignified manner as a way to improve their lives. In 1993 and 1994 he took three trips back to Nepal to actualize his vision of “fair trade” as a path to sustainable economic and personal development for artisans. Today, the artisans delight in coming to the exclusive studio and office in Nepal where they enjoy prestige, sisterhood, dignity, fair remuneration, a retirement account and other benefits.
