October is Fair Trade Month!
Together, we can make a difference in the lives of small producers, artisans and farmers around the world. Fair Trade with thousands of supporters aims to do just that. It is a concrete and efficient way to participate in the construction of a better world for several million small producers in Africa, Asia and Latin America. This is why Fair Trade Month has extraordinary support from people like you, and is being celebrated through hundreds of events in more than 70 countries around the world this very moment. And today is only the beginning…
“Be the change you wish to see in the world,” Gandhi said. Contribute to fight climate change, transform the status of women, and empower disadvantaged producers by giving them a voice and supporting Fair Trade. Fair Trade ensures that small producers get a fair deal, with good working conditions and fair prices under safe conditions, and allows for sustainable development and a promising future for millions of farmer and artisan communities around the world.
Fair Trade Month 2010 is about Fair Trade, about people, organizations, producers, consumers, supporters and all those who share its goals. But more importantly, it is about you.
