Fair Trade
Our commitment to Fair Trade practices and ethical sourcing of musical instruments for schools.
Fair Trade Musical Instruments
At Drums for Schools, Fair Trade is not a marketing label — it is how we do business. Every instrument we source is made under fair working conditions, with artisans paid a fair price for their skilled craftsmanship.
Why Fair Trade Matters in Schools
When you bring a Drums for Schools set into your classroom, you are not just teaching music. You are showing children that the things they use come from real people, in real communities, who deserve to be treated fairly.
This makes our instruments a natural fit for cross-curricular lessons in geography, PSHE, and global citizenship.
Our Supply Chain
- Direct partnerships with workshops in Indonesia, Thailand, Ghana, and India
- Regular visits to ensure working conditions meet our standards
- Fair pricing that supports sustainable livelihoods for instrument makers
