Our children showing us the way

School children in the UK have set-up a Fairtrade Enterprise to help farmers in Southern Africa.

Their business sells snacks and jewellery to raise funds for organisations addressing social issues.

They are supporting a number of charities, including Threaded Dreams in Johannesburg and Jewels of Hope based throughout Southern Africa. These charities are also using business principles through the sale of jewellery, purses and hand-bags.

These are not just fantastic ways of generating income for these organisations, but also teaching these children the importance of Fairtrade and helping those less fortunate than themselves.
