FAIR TRADE Fair trade helps farmers in other countries to get what they deserve. These countries are very poor and farmers need to take care of their families. They don‘t have any money for food, so they have to grow their food. Most people don‘t have any clean water. Fair trade help them mainly to pay school for their children, buy clothes and other things what they need.

Principles of fair trade: Fair price Community development Nature protection Long-term business relationships Decent working conditions Equality of rights Democracy Prohibition of child labour
