Accountability
How many times has the question been asked when purchasing a Fair Trade product, how do I really know that my dollars are helping people in the developing world?
Fair Trade USA is a 501 (c) (3) nonprofit organization, they are the leading third-party certifier of Fair Trade products in the United States. They provide farmers in developing nations the tools to thrive as international business people. Instead of creating dependency on aid, they use a market-based approach that gives farmers fair prices, workers safe conditions, and entire communities resources for fair, healthy and sustainable lives. They seek to inspire the rise of the Conscious Consumer and eliminate exploitation.
