The PREDA Foundation is a child advocacy group that since 1974 has been on the fore-front of guaranteeing human rights of vulnerable populations in the Philippines. PREDA runs a variety of programs that focus on protecting women and children who have been abandoned, jailed, live on the streets, or who have been unlawfully trafficked into the sex industry. Through their rescue and recovery programs, hundreds of children who are victims of abuse are helped by PREDA, who offers legal protection, shelter, therapy, and a new life of dignity.

The PREDA Fair Trade Project combines social responsibility, fair wages and community development to help traditional handicraft producers and small farmers throughout the Philippines prosper. Sales of their products help to fund PREDA’s many projects while also providing interest free loans, community development projects, market access and just earnings to the artisans. Nearly 160 artisans are employed through PREDA’s Fair Trade work.

PREDA’s products are made from a variety of natural and recycled materials, such as shells, pumice stone, palm leaves, vines and wood.
