Fairtrade Birmingham (FAB) launches new site

Pleased to say Fairtrade Association Birmingham – FAB has launched its new web site; http://www.fairtradebirmingham.org.uk/ Fairtrade Birmingham is a regional group working with the Fairtrade Foundation (FLO) and those NGO’s interested in sustainability and climate change with a view to lifting people out of poverty, particularly where there is under employment (Defined by the WTO as working excessive hours for less than subsistence income).

Coffee farmers in Tanzania are earning less than $350 a year and have average families of six. Making changes in consumption in favour of those firms helping make a difference is fundamental to trade-justice and Fairtrade Association Birmingham (FAB) are committed to engaging in these issues that affect impoverished producers and consumers alike.
