Global Goods Partners

Global Goods Partners is dedicated to alleviating poverty and promoting social justice by strengthening women-led development initiatives for marginalized communities in Asia, Africa, and the Americas. A nonprofit endeavor, Global Goods pursues this mission by partnering with organizations, associations, and cooperatives worldwide that integrate their commitment to community development - specifically, improvements in education, health, women’s rights, and employment opportunities - with socially responsible income-generating enterprises. Global Goods provides its partners with direct access to new markets in the United States, increasing both their revenue and global awareness of their work. Global Goods uses proceeds from product sales to provide technical assistance and grant support to its partners, assisting them in building stronger, more effective programs.

Global Goods is a member of the Fair Trade Federation (FTF) in the U.S.

Each 5 inch long mezuzah holds a uniquely hand-embroidered traditional pattern made by an Ethiopian woman immigrant in northern Israel. A gold shin adorns the surface, and the mezuzah is covered with a durable plastic casing. Profits from the sales of these mezuzot support Adisia, a nonprofit organization dedicated to empowering Ethiopian women in Israel and the workshops they provide on health and childcare.
