Thank you for all you do, from us

The Easter message brings an added dimension to Spring for many people, but for communities around the world, whatever their faith, the promise of new life and new opportunity is always something to celebrate.

That’s certainly true at for women like Lucia Sojven, at CreArte, which supplies Traidcraft with crafts from Guatemala. As a single parent, she’s bringing up her six-year-old son, Nestor, on her own. Living with her parents helps, but when there is no other work, she has to wash other people’s clothes or make tortillas to try to earn enough money for them to eat.

Orders from Traidcraft are helping to give her and the other women at CreArte a more secure future and the promise of a better life for them and their families.

Our support for groups like CreArte is only made possible by your purchases, so however you celebrate Easter this year, enjoy the holiday and a “thank you” for all you do, from us, from Lucia and all the producers we work with.

Alternative gifts for Easter + Time for tea & cake

What does Fairtrade mean to Kenyan tea farmers Purity Muthoni and her husband, William Mathenge?

It means fresh water to make the many cups of tea that they drink every day - and to use in their home as well. That's because they have saved money earned from selling their tea to build a new well next to their home.

"Now we have good water," William said. "Fairtrade is good to us. Without it, we cannot build anything." - William Mathenge, Ndima Tea, Kenya



	Our cakes & biscuits make a tasty fair trade treat.		A lovely refreshing cup of Fairtrade tea.
