About Our Global Initiatives
At H2 Home Collection we are committed to empowering women and making the world a better, more beautiful and more equitable place. We have instituted two initiatives that have now become part of the heart of our business and the core of our mission statement.
Women's Empowerment Initiative
We work in the remote Andean villages of Peru with mothers in a situation of poverty and little to no opportunity. The majority of these women are single women or single mothers. We have partnered with over 650 underprivileged women in the remote villages of the Andes Mountains to make beautiful products for your store so that you may help brighten the homes of your customers. Thanks to the income the women get from the embroidery they so lovingly craft on our products and the weaving they do to make our beautiful pillows, pouches, key chains, bags and blankets, these mothers can offer a better quality of life to their children and families as well as pass down their art to the next generation.
This work allows the women to have the pride and confidence that comes with providing for themselves and their families. With confidence and the right opportunities these women are not only providing for their families, they are building a foundation for their villages and for their children to have more opportunities going forward. Being self-sustaining allows the women to have the pride and confidence that comes with providing for themselves and their families. With pride and confidence even the impossible becomes possible..
FAIR TRADE INITIATIVE
In order to make the world a more beautiful and equitable place, we have adopted a Fair Trade Initiative that allows the women who work with us to pull themselves out of poverty and earn a fair wage. We follow Fair Trade practices and encourage our competitors to do the same.
It takes a village to make major changes in the world, but it starts with one small initiative and hope.
Fair Trade promotes sustainable development by offering better trading conditions to, and securing the rights of, marginalized producers and workers in developing countries.
There are 10 Principles of Fair Trade:
Principle One: Creating Opportunities for Economically Disadvantaged Producers
Principle Two: Transparency and Accountability
Principle Three: Fair Trading Practices
Principle Four: Payment of a Fair Price
Principle Five: Ensuring no Child Labor and Forced Labor
Principle Six: Commitment to Non Discrimination, Gender Equity and Freedom of Association
Principle Seven: Ensuring Good Working Conditions
Principle Eight: Providing Capacity Building
Principle Nine: Promoting Fair Trade
Principle Ten: Respect for the Environment
