FairMail is a social enterprise that sells fair trade greeting cards made with pictures taken by underprivileged teenage photographers from Peru. FairMail provides free photography classes to the photographers and sells their images through different channels. The photographers receive 60% of the profit from the sales of their pictures and they invest it in 3 funds: education, clothing, and house
supply. FairMail also provides a health care plan to the photographers and their direct family members as well as counseling and personal guidance to support their personal and professional growth. Our mission is to:
o Fight against child labor in Peru by empowering underprivileged teenagers through photography. o Provide for the education of the FairMail photographers and support them in their personal and professional growth to instill within them a sense of self-confidence and self-awareness so that they can grow into the adult they want and chose to be. o Raise awareness of the role of social enterprises and of the impact that they have in the communities where they operate. o Promote fair trade and be a compliant member of the WFTO by living up to its ten principles.
