One of the world’s first fair trade organizations, SERRV International began its mission in 1949 by helping displaced European refugees earn income through the sale of their handcrafted goods after World War II. Since then, the organization has expanded its reach globally, supporting more than 8,000 artisans and farmers each year through the sale of handmade goods and specialty foods.
SERRV is committed to creating fair employment opportunities regardless of gender, race, religion, or sexuality, while also working to prevent child labor and support brighter futures for artisans’ children through education. By paying artisans in advance and ensuring fair income, SERRV helps individuals, families, and communities build more stable and sustainable livelihoods.
