History

Established in 2012.

After many years of work in international development and poverty alleviation efforts, the founders created SALT. A social enterprise that partners with artisans in impoverished countries to create a truly sustainable business model. It is about trade not aid. We partner with co-​operatives and women groups to give them access to the global market and give them a hand in their struggle to end a legacy of poverty.

Business Owner

SALT works with international partners to grant underprivileged artisans access to an international market by promoting their products and stories. Additionally, SALT provides consumers with ethical purchase choices, while also engaging them in the cultures of the artisans. The work that SALT does allows for greater understanding and respect across cultures, for improved quality of life for the artisans and their communities, and for a greater understanding of fair trade and its importance in alleviating poverty.
