Ethiopia

Your purchase creates income and social reform for textile artisans in Ethiopia, as well as funding environmental impact projects in their communities.

Since 2023, SERRV International has partnered with artisans in Ethiopia, providing a long-term trading partnership and interest-free advance payment for our orders. Using cotton grown in Ethiopia and eco-friendly dyes, these talented artisans spin, weave, dye, and finish beautiful textiles entirely by hand using traditional drop spinners and hand looms. Their organization operates with net-zero emissions by utilizing biogas and solar energy, has a wastewater treatment system, and achieved the first Oeko-Tex Level 3 certified Sustainable Textile Production facility in Africa. Through sales of their handcrafts, over 300 artisans earn above a living wage, receive annual health care stipends, and benefit from various training programs including environmental education.
