Calne was awarded Fairtrade Town Status
by the Fairtrade Foundation on 28th February 2019 |
This is International Women's Day
Fairtrader's are making some noise for women cocoa farmers. In Côte d'Ivoire, many earn just 74p a day - less than half of what they need for the absolute essentials. And too often, women get an even worse deal than male farmers. This needs to change. Already nearly 20,000 Fairtrade supporters have signed the Fairtrade Foundation's petition for cocoa farmers to earn a living income. You still have time to join them - sign here. This is Fairtrade Fortnight
