The Flagstaff Fairworld Project

is the only Fair trade effort of its kind in Flagstaff AZ.

A fair and global effort. The idea is to bring fair trading opportunities to local and foreign aboriginal artisans to ensure that they have a sustained market that offers fair prices for their goods and to enable us to purchase authentic and high quality products to which we'd otherwise not have access.




We need your help!


The Abya Yala University Association is the central group that organizes the Flagstaff Fairworld Project events. Even so, we need volunteers to help out, supplier/artisans of noteworthy skill, and donors to grow this non-profit effort. The project is advised by two faculty advisors, but is otherwise entirely run by students. The profits are both reinvested into the project and used to support both our club as well as those clubs that volunteer their time to support the project.

What can you buy and where can you buy it? We're interested in supporting the livelihoods of crafters of authentic traditional items. Currently we have goods from the Apache nation and from Mayan Guatemala. To read more about where and when Flagstaff Fairworld Project auctions and sales are being held click on the link below.
