    What is fair trade?


    it’s a trade between companies in developed countries  and producers in developing countries in
    which fair prices are paid to the producers.  The goal of fair trade is to make a significant and
    positive impact in the world by selling ethically-produced goods, and improving the working and
    living conditions of farmers who are fairly-compensated for their work. It is based on
    democratically-organised cooperatives and helps preserving natural habitats. 
     

    What Is Microfinance?

    income individuals or groups who otherwise would have no other access to financial services.
