Noah's Ark

Noah's Ark International Exports is a Fair Trade handicraft marketing organization in Moradabad, India. Noah's Ark provides benefits such as education and medical treatment for artisans and their families. As artisan businesses become more self-sufficient, Noah's Ark takes on new families. Since the company's inception, about 20 artisan workshops have become independent. Noah's Ark started in 1986, in one room of a family house in Moradabad. Businessman Samuel Masih observed that exporters and intermediaries were taking advantage of handicraft artisans. He started Noah's Ark to promote these artisans and their crafts.
