Aid Through Trade are the creator of The Original Roll-On® Bracelet - a Fair Trade, bracelet that is ethically crafted by women in Nepal.
Their vision is to empower the lives of women through ethical, fair, and sustainable employment.
While teaching in Nepal, Damian Jones became inspired by the artisans of the Kathmandu Valley and the use of glass beads in the Nepalese culture. Damian visited many artisans in various regions of Nepal, and observed the artisans as they created unique designs. Damian recognised that although the designs varied, there was one undeniable constant across all villages:
