The Fairtrade Foundation
The Fairtrade Foundation is a non-profit organisation that is trying to fight poverty around the world. A number of charities, churches and social groups set it in 1992. They decided to work together to form an organisation dedicated to the problem of global poverty.
The Fairtrade Foundation works with farmers and workers in poor countries to help them improve their working and living conditions. It does this by making sure they are paid a fair price for their work, and by encouraging people in richer countries to buy products with the FAIRTRADE Mark.
The FAIRTRADE Mark shows consumers that the farmers, who grew the products, got a fair price for their work plus a little extra to invest in their communities.
Typical products include coffee, chocolate, bananas, flowers and cotton. Sometimes Fairtrade products cost a few pence more than other products, but that’s because the farmers in poorer countries were paid a respectable price for their work.
One Fair Trade company is ‘Divine’, a chocolate company in the UK. 45,000 cocoa farmers in Ghana grow the beans for the chocolate and also co-own the company. They receive a fair price for their cocoa and they also get a share in the company profits. Divine chocolate bars have African symbols as decorations. These symbols mean different things. You can check the key below for some examples. The next time you buy a chocolate bar or a packet of biscuits, check to see whether the shop sells Fairtrade products and help to do something about the world poverty.
