The group that makes these Swirl Stars was set up by a Belgian nun in 1966 who believed that it was possible to “Fight Hunger through Work”. It’s mission is to organize marginalized communities and small producers to become self-reliant, to share knowledge, skills and resources in promoting livelihood, health and sustainable agriculture, and to create and market new products according to fair-trade standards.
