Fairtrade is an organisation that specialises in assisting disadvantaged farmers and workers but, how do they do this?
Fairtrade supports farmers and workers to earn more money. They allow consumers to buy from these farmers and workers. This promotes trading fairly with farmers and workers and it gives them the right amount of money that they should have earned.
