One of the reasons we decided to do this A-Z of Christmas on our blog was to let people know about the wide variety of fair trade goods there are available. One thing I don’t think people would associate with Fair Trade is musical instruments. We have a range of percussion instruments, from a lovely Gecko Clacker for little hands to a full size Jammer Djembe.
They are all made in Indonesia by local artists, communities and craftsmen. Producers represent the five main religions and both male and female craftsmen are employed through the various stages of the production process. This helps to
further maintain a social balance in these areas. Producers are allowed to dictate prices and these prices are above local averages.
