Recently I came across a website called Elevyn ( www.elevyn.com), a site works closely with NGOs and field partners on training, consultancy and advisory .
Elevyn.com also sells handmade jewellery by indigenous and marginalizes communities. . Their idea is to encourage rural artisans to improve their livelihoods by providing them access to internet with these online stores being set up and managed by the communities themselves, and a portion of sales (5 - 10%) made thru the online store will fund specific causes that support the local communities - for example, they have "Raise $100 to buy books for the school".
Recently they have organized a contest with Tongue in Chic(www.tonguechic.com):
So if anyone who would like to support their artisans who make beautiful handmade items can either do some write up on their site or check out their site and cause yourself at www.elevyn.com!
