Economic Development Imports was created in 2003 to offer customers unique,
high-quality, handmade products, while providing income-generating opportunities to women in developing countries.
Since its founding, EDImports has built relationships throughout East and West Africa by
working with thousands of artisans,
most of whom are women, to help them build better lives for themselves and their children.
From the start, EDImports partnered with fair trade industry
veteran One World Projects for all warehousing and
distribution functions.
Together the companies worked with artisans
in more than 25 countries in Africa, Asia and Latin America.
In 2008, EDImports transitioned out of importing,
and One World Projects took
over management of the
artisans and products. Both companies are members of the Fair Trade Federation.
An overview of our product assortment
of home goods, holiday gifts, and fashion accessories, along with stories about the master artisans
who make these goods, and how this work has positively affected their lives, are shown throughout the site.
Purchases can be made by clicking on any "buy now" button which links directly to
One World Projects.
