Moms are ambitious for their children.  Fair Trade provides a living wage for an artisan or small farmer.  In addition a Fair Trade premium is paid to the community, which can be used to build schools, to improve housing, land or the water supply, to upgrade equipment or medical care.  Through participation in a farmer or artisan's co-op, a woman can find her voice and make decisions for her community.  And all of these benefits will give her children opportunities for a better life--whether the child follows in Mom's footsteps, becoming a better prepared farmer or crafts-person, or launches a new career.

Read how Fair Trade is making difference in the lives of mothers and their families.
