5. Isatou FAQ Question #5

What does 'Isatou' mean?- Isatou (eye-sa-TOO) is a common girls' name in The Gambia, West Africa; well-known Isatous include the vice-president of the Gambia, Isatou Njie-Saidy, and the head of the Njau Recycling Cooperative, Isatou Ceesay. It was chosen because it's unique, easy to remember (after a few tries), and epitomizes the equal focus of the Society on interactions with community members, local leaders, and government.

Are your store items Fair-Trade certified? - Some are, and some are not. All Recycled and Cooperative items are Fair Trade certified in the United States by Transfair via A Hand in Health. Pursuing formal Fair Trade certification for other individual store items is prohibitively expensive for The Isatou Society at this time, as each item from each vendor would require a separate application at $250 apiece. Our items are fairly traded in the best way possible- through on the ground, face to face interactions.
