ETHICAL CHRISTMAS GIFTS FOR 2022

Looking for alternative, ethical gifts? Try these ideas for Fairtrade Christmas gifts Be FAIR to Farmers!

Prospero, if you would like to make a Christmas donation see below!

Fairtrade producers have a major problem with access to capital, and many cooperatives are unable to pay their members for their produce until the cooperatives sell the product. This can take months. The farmers then become vulnerable to middlemen who pay them bad prices but who can offer them cash when they need it.

That’s why access to relatively small loans (€10,000 to €20,000) at ‘low-or-no’ interest rates can make a world of difference to many organisations in poor communities. Prospero is an Irish charity which has been set up with the support of Fairtrade Ireland to provide loans to organisations in this situation.
