the organisation for the service it provides to the developing world.

<>“Traidcraft
offers ‘third world’ producers the opportunity to learn how to sell to
overseas
markets as well as locally. <>
<>
<>“By
supporting Traidcraft’s work we are helping to create opportunities for
producers in the developing world, offering them a brighter future and
protecting them from a world of exploitation and inequality.
<>
<>
<>Edward
Davey MP encourages people
to support this organisation in several ways
<>
<>
<>“Traidcraft’s
development work is mainly funded by events such as coffee mornings and
open
days. Therefore the more volunteers, the bigger the difference
Traidcraft will
be able to make to people’s lives. People can also support Traidcraft,
by
sending in a donation, buying fair trade products or even taking part
in a
Traidcraft active event and becoming a shareholder”.
