SERRV works with thousands of small-scale artisans and farmers in Africa, Asia, Latin America and other developing regions of the world by marketing their handcrafts and agricultural products. Through our work with 75 community-based organizations in 36 countries, we create economic opportunity so these producers can support their families.

In addition to purchasing and marketing products, we work with producers to assist them in becoming economically self sufficient through product design, training, information, technical assistance and market access.

Nine years ago, Wang Ping Feng never would have imagined that her life was going to change so dramatically. Back then, the little money she earned came from farming, and she and her husband struggled to support their family in their small village in the Yunnan Province of southwestern China.
