"If we all make Fairtrade our habit we can play a real part in enabling farmers and farm-workers to end poverty in their own communities,"

Harriet Lamb, Fairtrade Foundation

Fairtrade isn't just coffee and bananas - there is a whole range of products from snack bars and chocolate to olive oil and wine - and every time you make a Fairtrade purchase you are helping to make the world a little bit better.

To help stop the exploitation of third world communitites:

  • replace your usual purchases with Faritrade where available;
  • encourage any groups you belong to to do likewise;
  • suggest Fairtrade alteratives at your workplace;
  • campaign for local shops and store to stock Fairtrade goods.

Buying Fairtrade means farmers and farm-workers in poverty-stricken communities can begin to earn a decent wage.

Enable them to help themselves by supporting Fairtrade initiatives.
