The textile industry is vital to Rajasthan, an Indian state where poverty is widespread. The textile industry employs thousands of people, but most artisans live in poverty. Many also face working conditions that are unsafe and a serious risk to their health, such as polluted drinking water. Traidcraft is working with textile artisans to help increase their incomes and ensure safer and cleaner environments in which they work and live. £50 could provide textile artisans with the training and technology they need to improve their working conditions and living environment.

Why should I give Gifts for Life?
Gifts for Life are unique presents that will bring joy to a friend or relative - and make a lasting difference to the lives of producers in developing countries struggling to make a living.
None of these gifts are a quick-fix for poverty. Traidcraft's charity, Traidcraft Exchange believes in lifelong solutions brought about through better trade. Every gift in this catalogue will help a small-scale producer to make the most of their wonderful skills by enabling them to sell their produce to local and overseas consumers for a fair price.
