Imagine buying a toy or piece of clothing, and knowing that the people who made it were paid fairly and treated well. That’s what fair trade co-ops do! They are special businesses that help farmers and artisans in other countries by buying their products and making sure they get a fair price for their hard work. These co-ops connect people from different parts of the world, helping them share what they create. The people who run the co-ops earn money by selling these handmade products at a fair price. They use their profits to support their families and give back to the communities that make these goods. What makes it so special is that everyone involved in the process gets treated kindly. The people who run the co-ops know that by helping others, they’re also building their own successful businesses. It’s not just about the money—it’s about making the world a better place by showing kindness and fairness to everyone. Running a fair trade co-op helps create a world where we all work together to support one another. And when people buy these special products, they’re making a difference too. It’s a way of doing business that’s good for everyone.
