WHAT DOES IT REALLY MEAN?
Fair Trade is much more than a trading system. It’s a holistic system of connecting people along the entire trade route: from the devoted farmers and talented artisans who make and grow the products, to the dedicated members of organizations who develop and import the products, bringing them to the global market, to retailers like us and customers like you – every step is important.
Meant to be a long-term system, not short-term charity, Fair Trade works to make communities on all levels sustainable. Fair Trade Organizations are invested in the people they work with, helping them meet nutritional needs, get access to health care, receive financial training, and a variety of other projects, depending on the needs of the community.
Sometimes they may need a new sewing room, or a daycare facility, a clean-water well, irrigation system or they may even have enough for a basketball court!
The impact of Fair Trade goes way beyond a fair, living wage; it empowers those living in poverty, especially women who are often the most marginalized, to create positive change in their lives and their communities.
