Lutheran World Relief partners with SERRV to bring Fair Trade chocolate and handcrafts to our supporters and supporters of Fair Trade.

A nonprofit organization, SERRV’s mission is to eradicate poverty wherever it resides by providing opportunity and support to artisans and farmers worldwide.

SERRV donates 7.5% of annual handcraft sales and 4% of annual Divine Chocolate (and other food) sales to Lutheran World Relief to support our partners and projects overseas. Since 1999, these donations have added up to more than $450,000!

SERRV’s Work

• Marketing the crafts and foods of low-income artisans and farmers
• Helping them to solve their challenges and grow and embrace the future
• Teaching new skills to help them develop their craft
• Providing grants so they can expand their resources
• Supporting equal rights for women (for example, encouraging partnering associations to provide cooperative child care so that mothers can earn income)
• Guiding sustainable development
• And, of course, paying fair wages
