Fair Trade, Eco and Ethical

CHARITY DONATIONS


The aim of Fair Trade is not to provide emergency relief, but to create trading relationships where people have sustainable employment, which improve their living standards and see them through difficult times. However, disasters do strike, especially in this age of climate change where floods, droughts and extreme weather are increasingly common. In addition of course there has been the Covid pandemic.

We try to do our best in these situations, a drop in the ocean but at least something. These are the recent donations made by Shared Earth UK:
