Lasallian Women of Hope (LWH) has partnered with FairTrade Caravans this holiday season to raise money to support women and girls in our Lasallian family around the world. From now through Dec. 15, 2025, LWH will receive 25% of FairTrade Caravans’ product sales to fund a Pad Project, which addresses period poverty by providing culturally sensitive health and menstrual education as well as personal hygiene items for female students in eight countries. This year’s sales will fund a Lasallian ministry in South Africa.
FairTrade Caravans’ products are made in safe working conditions with sustainable practices. They do not use child labor, offer fair pay for all employees, and support artisans and farmers around the world. While this holiday fundraiser offers an opportunity to bring attention to and fundraise for LWH, FairTrade Caravans supports LWH as fundraiser throughout the year.
