Siempre Unidos, Honduras - Meet the Fair Trade Artisans

Honduras, where one out of every 50 persons lives with HIV, has the highest rate of infection of any Spanish speaking country. Prevalence is significantly higher among risk groups such as commercial sex workers (9.7%) and the Garifuna population in Roatan (8.4%). Now is the time to try to stem this epidemic through effective treatment, screening, prevention and community education.

The Episcopal Diocese of Honduras provides great commitment and leadership for reducing the HIV epidemic in Honduras and is completely fiscally transparent. Siempre Unidos and the Diocese have a long history of working with government, lay and religious partners, both local and international, to help stem this epidemic.

Women at the clinic are often stigmatized, and even though they are receiving treatment and appear healthy - many are unwilling to hire them. The fair trade products we sell helps employ these sisters, mothers, and daughters as they create cute baby onezies and jewelry! They are on the path to self-sufficiency and a life of dignity with your support.

Support these artisans by purchasing their products in our fair trade store.
