For 44 years in the Philippines, CCAP has taken huge strides in promoting fair trade to improve to quality of life of handicraft workers, especially those belonging to marginalized rural communities. True to CCAP’s advocacy to promote Fair Trade and livelihood development, proceeds from the event will assist marginalized communities and support the local crafts industry.
