Dear Masca,
I was reading an article about how to end poverty , and i remember when you mention this foundation named Fairtrade that you didn't know what it was . I started investigating about it and this is what i found.
Fairtrade is an association that give a percentage of a trade of a product to the producer , for example when a farmer collect a vegetable , that vegetable when is sold the farmer will win a percentage of the trade. Here is a better definition from the Fairtrade official page it said that if you buy products with the Fairtrade Mark you help farmers and workers to improve their lives ,the mark means that the product is produced by a small-scale farmer or workers organisation or plantation that meet Fairtrade Social. Buying those products help the workers gain a percentage of the trade and to improve their lives and working condition .
And this is what i found searching about Fairtrade , for my opinion is a very good way to improve workers and farmers life , and a little way to decrease the worlds proverty. Just like you only knew the name i did not know about all the association , i wish you could understand all this and consider when you buy something you can change many lives .
See you later
