We are wishing a very Happy Mother's Day for Sunday to all the lovely ladies who work in the Zoe & Mama Ursula Projects in Peru.

There are around 35 women working for the two Fair Trade projects, working hard to produce beautiful items such our Crocheted Silver Marisol range.

Many of the women work from home so they are able to care for their children at the same time. The alternatives would be either not working and struggling to make ends meet, or to work away from home and leave their children to care for themselves.

This is Madeline & her baby Valentino - Madeline is able to care for Valentino at the same time as working so she is able to earn enough money to properly support her family.

Madeline hand crochets our quirky 'Five-A-Day' fruit & vegetable brooches.

We hope all the Mums have a lovely Sunday with their children.

Love from all at Just Trade
