Around the world Fairtrade co-operatives and other development organisations work to improve the quality of people's lives, providing access to health and educational services and ensuring clean water supplies and adequate sanitation.
The Fairtrade initiative provides a stable income for farmers and growers, enabling them to invest in their communities and plan for the future. From banana growers in the Windward Islands and cacoa farmers in Ghana and Belize, to coffee producers in Uganda and Brazil.
