Fair Trade Rug Event

Fair Trade Rug Event

Stop by the Ten Thousand Villages store and learn how rugs are designed and produced by artisans in Pakistan and how the fair-trade model is making a difference in Pakistani Villages. Bunyaad supports 850 artisan families in roughly 100 villages by paying a fair wage to artisan families. Reliable and consistent payments to the rug makers foster their unprecedented financial planning capacity. Artisans can focus on doing quality work with the knowledge that they have the security of a fair income. Bunyaad both builds and supports school to further the education of village children and empowers women through financial independence.

Get more info about the event, browse the inventory ahead of time and shop our gorgeous pieces any time during the year at https://www.bunyaad.com.
Bunyaad is a proud member of Fair Trade Federation and a partner of Ten Thousand Villages.
