One of the bargain sites, Overstock, also has WORLDSTOCK, which enables poor artisans from around the world to sell their products online. Overstock says, "Our goal in Worldstock is not to make money, but to create tens of thousands (and someday millions) of jobs in the poorest regions of the world, while bringing customers unique products of which they can be proud - hand-crafted clothing, jewelry, ceramics, furniture, and much more."

FAIR TRADE GIFTS

     WORLD OF GOOD offers gift items from around the world. And when you give one, you’re also helping a poor artisan, because this site is a fair trade site. Fair Trade is “a growing, international movement dedicated to securing a fair deal for producers in impoverished countries. A 'fair deal' includes paying workers a fair price for the goods they produce. . . .”
