Purchasing Power and Poverty

I first learned about Fair Trade when I began working in tea. Simply, Fair Trade means a standard of practice that allows others to earn a fair wage. Importantly, Fair Trade means an opportunity for those in impoverished, even dangerous, situations to move out of poverty.

I feel deep compassion for those in these situations. You, like me, may be looking for ways to do more about those feelings.

Trade As One is an organization offering quality products from around the world. These products are the key to survival for those escaping human trafficking, abuse, disease…poverty.

To learn more about Trade As One and their mission to use sustainable business to fight poverty, visit their web site, and watch their 4-minute video.

You can learn more about Fair Trade at the Fair Trade Federation web site.

Yes, we can make a difference.

With love,
