The Marquis Project – Think Globally, Act Locally
Description: A project of the Manitoba Council on International Cooperation to heighten awareness of fair trade in Manitoba, Canada.
Profits now go directly to women farmers, and not to their husbands. We are managing our own money. This is changing the status of women generally in the community.
Bintou Dambile, cotton farmer, UC-CPC de Djidian
Fair trade isn’t just about helping farmers in poor countries; by helping to protect forests, fields and rivers it helps us all to respond to climate change. We have learned about more sustainable production methods this way.
