Help us Change Trade for Good!
Fair Trade artisans, producers and trading enterprises are facing one of the greatest disruptions in the history of the movement. We are calling for your support to co-fund an exciting series of events that will bring people together to grow the life-changing impact of Fair Trade.
To help us do this, Mitos Urgel is travelling from Chiang Mai to share inspiring stories of how WEAVE Fair Trade is responding to the humanitarian crisis on the Thai/ Myanmar border where thousands of displaced people from Myanmar have taken refuge. Mitos will be joined by a host of changemakers in Australia to talk about how socially and environmentally responsible enterprise has the power to create tangible change in some of the world’s most disadvantaged regions.
