Fairtrade Fortnight 2010
22nd February to 7th March

February 2010

LaFT; Leicester Advocating Fair Trade in collaboration with Divine Chocolate, is delighted to announce a special programme of events on 24th, 25th and 27th February to celebrate Fairtrade Fortnight.

Two cocoa farmers are travelling over from Ghana and visiting the people of Leicester in honour of the occasion. The farmers belong to a co-operative called Kuapa Kokoo in Ghana which consists of 45,000 cocoa farmers and which supplies cocoa to the leading Fairtrade chocolate company, Divine Chocolate. The two farmers are visiting Leicester to talk to a range of audiences about how fairer trading is helping to change lives in Ghana. They will also be explaining how the farmers’ co-operative actually owns 45% of Divine itself – and how this pioneering business model means an even better deal for farmers.

Kilombero Rice Challenge
September 2009

In Malawi only 1 in 3 children attend High School and yet education is one of the most effective ways to escape poverty. If a farmer in Malawi can sell 90kg of rice he can afford to send one of his children to High School for a year. At Just since the Spring our customers have bought over 90kg - thank you! You can help by buying more in the shop or through Just Near You.
