Presentation transcript:

Shathi lives in Bangladesh. She’s 12 years old and lives with her mum, dad, brother and sisters in a rural part of the country, near the border with India.

The area that Shathi lives in is very special, as it’s where some of the tea that we drink in the UK is grown. It’s also a very poor area; many of the people in this area live in poverty and children aren’t able to go to school to get an education, meaning they’re much more likely to live in poverty when they grow up.

Shathi’s mum and dad both work in the tea business. Before they grew and sold tea the family were very poor as they were only able to grow a small amount of rice and sugar cane.

Traidcraft is a fair trade organisation working with some of the world’s poorest farmers and producers, people like Shathi’s mum and dad. Traidcraft set up a project in the area where Shathi lives to help farmers grow more and better crops, like tea bushes.

They helped these farmers to organise into groups, meaning that the members can all support one another by contributing new ideas, different skills and even by sharing money between them in emergencies. The groups make sure that no one is struggling, and all help as much as they can.

Thanks to Traidcraft, Shathi’s mum and dad are able to grow more, earn more and have hope for the future. They plan to improve their home and get running water to make life easier. Shathi and her brother and sisters can go to school, so the pattern of poverty will not repeat itself.
