FAIRTRADE fortnight finishes on March 9. Fairtrade empowers poor farmers in third world countries to earn a living to support their families, reducing dependence on international aid.
Buy goods with the Fairtrade mark from shops or the Fairground at Wesley Hall, Feilden Street.
By doing this we are giving dignity and sustainability through the possibility of a fair day's wage for a fair day's work.
To join a campaign to raise the profile of Fairtrade in Blackburn leave your details at Fairground on 01254 682210.
Soroptimist International of Blackburn (a service organisation for women).
