This is a beautifully hand-carved Buddha tea-light holder made from lovely tactile soapstone by artisans employed by Tara Projects in India. TARA Projects (Trade Alternative Reform Action) was founded in 1973 to help poorly organised and struggling artisans in Delhi find markets for their goods. By creating opportunities for these home-based craftsmen to market and sell their goods, TARA Projects helps to generate steady work and income. Based on the early success of this programme, they have been able to expand to a 120-mile area surrounding Delhi. TARA Projects funds schools for children as well as literacy centres for adults, and are constantly campaigning and educating people about fair trade. Their goal is to end injustice and manipulation in the world mass trade system.
