This year the demand is being put in that the recovery of the economy and trade in the post-COVID era, prioritize Human Rights, the protection of the environment, and is based on the values ​​of Fair Trade and Social Economy.

Many organizations claim that the pandemic situation constitutes a turning point towards another economic model. A model that reduces social inequalities and stop the climate emergency. We give you some examples of stores and products that you can buy for your baby, or your child, and that follow the philosophy of fair trade.

The Érase Una Vez children's store has been operating for more than ten years. In its catalog you will find one selection of toys for babies and children up to ten years old, besides books, clothes, crafts, furniture, decoration and other useful things, for example a china made with bamboo.

All the products offered in this store, are marketed under the parameters of fair trade and sustainable manufacturing. Most of their toys are made with wood or materials that are friendly to nature, made in Europe and without any toxic component for the little ones. And they also offer you free shipping, with no minimum purchase!

The cushions and rag dolls are made of Organic cotton or with OEKO-tex Certificate. Another fundamental aspect in the store is that its offer of toys and children's products that promote gender equality and, from the store, manufacturing with artisanal methods is encouraged.

We now tell you about manufacturing experiences of sustainable clothing that are framed within fair trade. Kiddy Land is a Caritas Jerusalem project which provides training to 400 women from the Bethlehem area, in sewing, embroidery and design techniques. Kiddy Land offers 100% organic organic cotton clothing and accessories for babies between 6 and 24 months.

This project is coordinated and executed from Cáritas Jerusalem in collaboration with local textile factory owners, which in turn make up the fair trade network The Holy Land Handicraft Coopertiave, Saciety, which began operating in 2001. In Spain there are several cities where you can find these garments, in Caritas stores and they also have their Facebook page.

These garments, shirts, dresses, pants, blouses, are very easy to identify, because they are adorned with small traditional Palestinian embroidery hand made. When your baby wears this type of garment you are helping organic cotton producers and responsible manufacturers.
