Poverty: Fairtrade

Dear Pedro,

Yesterday, in english class, we learnt with the teacher that a foundation, called Fairtrade, gives oppotunities to poor poeple to sell their products in all Europe. This foundation sells gold,  chocolate, cotton, among other things. If you go to a supermarket you can see that some products have a green label, blue and black.on the center is the form of a person. 

This foundation helps the poverty a lot in the world, because the things that they sell include a ten percent that when they sell it they pass this ten percent to people who elaborate the products.

When I saw the label of the foundation I look my phone and I investigated more about it. I searched that this foundation was created in England. Only in England there are 500 fair trade towns and a lot of other buildings like schools, churches and universities. 1.2 million of workers and farmers of 60 diferents countries sell their things through the foundation in 2011.

The first sale that the world had knowledge about this foundation was in 1940’s and 1950’s. Religious people were the first people that did this sale on Fairtrade, because they were an oriented non-governmental organization.

Fairtrade helps to the people that live in the south to sell their products and this foundation helps to thees people to have a fairer market and also to compete with big companies. This foundation is made of 25 organizations in all the world and one of this organization is the Fairtrade Iberica.

I hope you liked this foundation and I want you to investigate more about this,
