How your gifts bringjoy to the world

We believe...no, actually we know because we've seen it, that education is the key to lifting individuals and whole communities out of poverty. The Fair Indigo Foundation financially supports education in the communities where our products are made, devoting 5% of our profits plus your $5 donations at checkout.

Think $5 isn't meaningful? Consider this: With just the $5 donations from last year, the Foundation in 2011 hired a full-time teacher, started a library, built a new classroom, installed indoor plumbing, and provided equipment for a computer lab across two schools in Peru.

Whether we're traveling across town to our jewelry maker or across the equator to our cooperatives in Peru, there's one constant. Parents want the best for their kids. There is no concept on earth that unites us more. Above are just a handful of kids who have been helped by your donations.

Genuine smiles amidst poverty so incomprehensibly crushing. There are few things more humbling. There are few things that put into perspective the things we deem stressful.

Rowena and Sergio

While the Foundation focuses its resources on necessities like supplies and books, this season we're going to throw in a little fun.

Our sourcing partners in Peru, husband and wife team Sergio and Rowena, visit "our kids" every Christmas with gifts of their own. This year we're sending them with a big sack from Santa!


Sergio and Rowena will bring toys and fun books to the kids....toys and books they can take home, something nearly unheard of in their community. Thank you Sergio and Rowena for playing Santa on our and your behalf!
