"I feel I am very blessed living in the United States. I have all the basic necessities of life and more. I feel God wants me to help our brothers and sisters even those in other countries. I am only one person --but when others help too then we can make a difference!" S. Hogan, volunteer from Kansas

Fair Trade Artisan Handcrafts

Your Fair Trade purchase makes a difference!

Follow Education And More on Twitter!

Education And More is a Fair Trade, Christian charitable organization dedicated to helping educate children of the Lake Atitlan area of Guatemala and to reducing poverty in the communities by helping artisan groups obtain Fair Trade prices for their handcrafts.

Fair Trade handcrafts are presented on our website from our artisan groups and each time you choose to purchase a handcraft you can be assured the artisan has received a Fair Trade wage for their work. The sale of Fair Trade handcrafts has a ripple effect in the lives of the artisans and communities. It gives a much needed fair wage income to the artist which in turn gives them the ability to care for their families with the basic necessities of life -- food, health care, education. Next it brings more income to the community as the artisan purchases food and other daily needs. Your Fair Trade purchases are enriching the lives of so many!

Education And More returns all profits to help educate the children and to benefit our artisan groups thru education and business training. We hope you enjoy the beautiful handcrafts and the information presented here about Education And More and the wonderful people of Guatemala.

We praise the Lord for people like you who are committed to helping your neighbors!

Student Sponsorship Program gives a future!

Help a student obtain an education through our Student Sponsorship!

We want children to be able to obtain an education but to also know the love of Jesus Christ as a part of a loving, caring community of believers. We partner with local Christian churches in our Student Sponsorship program to develop all aspects of education for students.

Host an 'Artisan Market' Sale!

A great way to volunteer with Education And More right here in the U.S. is to host a Guatemalan bazaar at your church or in your home. Selling Fair Trade Guatemalan handcrafts gives double benefits - both in educating the children and also for the artisan and their family. First, it gives an income to our artisan groups helping them to lift themselves out of poverty and have dignity and pride in doing so. Secondly, all profits that Education And More receives are channeled back to Guatemala to educate children and help the artisan groups that produce the handcrafts.
