They started working with fair trade craft groups in 1987 and are now involved with 50 village co-operatives and approximately 7,000 artisans. MDCU aims to find markets for their fair trade products, to provide centralised services for its member groups and to take care of the enviroment.

"MDCU has helped us in many ways since we started to work with them. It has also helped many people within the community and outside it, so we would like you to give us your support so we can have more chances of employing people. We need you to support us so that we continue working with you". Joseph Marx, MDCU, Kenya.
