Traidcraft / Fairtrade

Traidcraft Overview
Who We are - Traidcraft fights poverty through trade. We were established in 1979 as a Christian response to poverty. Traidcraft plc - our trading company - buys from poor people helping them build better lives through fair trade. Traidcraft Exchange - our charity - works with poor people to help them win their share of world trade. We Trade - By selling their products and providing support, we help craftworkers and farmers across Africa, Asia, and Latin America build a better future for themselves, their families and their communities. We also show that it’s possible to run a good business without exploiting people.

We Support - We work with local people to help them trade nationally and internationally. Traidcraft Exchange provides information, training and consultancy - practical support which makes a real difference.

We Influence - Making a living isn’t easy, especially for hard working producers. They have to overcome huge barriers - including the rules which govern world trade. Our experience means we can talk with authority to governments and big business about the need for change and how it can be achieved.
