Others Trade for Hope – a social enterprise of The Salvation Army – is celebrating its 25th anniversary of promoting hope, independence, and dignity for more than 800 Kenyan and Bangladeshi women and men, many of whom have experienced vulnerability and exploitation. 

Since 1997, Others has been combating social injustice by using fair-trade principles to fight poverty for people in vulnerable communities. 

Its artisan partners create beautiful products that are available for purchase in the US, Norway, Canada, Iceland and New Zealand. 

Others helps combat widespread poverty, creates sustainable employment, educates the next generation and, above all, provides freedom from exploitation.  

Others Trade for Hope’s mission aligns with seven of the United Nations’ Sustainable Development Goals: no poverty, zero hunger, good health and well-being, quality education, gender equality, decent work and economic growth, and reduced inequalities.
