Beleza – Local Fair Trade Boutique

Beleza is a fair trade boutique owned and operated by Philip and Sarah Dail, supporters of MorLove. In 2003, Philip Dail began working with a village of women in Soatanana, Madagascar, helping them sell their handmade woven raw silk shawls and scarves. Soon he realized the global potential of helping individuals and communities market their crafts as a means to support themselves more effectively. Philip opened Beleza in November of 2005 and a year later Sarah-his new bride-joined him.

The most dramatic impact has been made in the poorer developing nations, as would be expected. And the Dails not only support these families and communities economically, but their frequent visits also provide invaluable emotional support and fellowship.  Often working through their churches, the Dails continually involve others in this ministry of encouragement around the world. They are both committed to serving others and showing them genuine care and love.

Beleza is currently working with eighteen family groups or coops from Uganda, Kenya, Madagascar, Brazil, Vietnam, Czech Republic, Costa Rico, Peru, and the United States. This number is constantly growing as they network with people around the world.

You can now shop from Beleza online at their new online store which features the following items and more.
