Fair Trade
Fair Trade is an alternative way of doing business—one that builds equitable, tong-term partnerships between consumers in North America and producers in developing nations. The program supports disadvantaged farmers and artisans in developing countries all over the world. The income they earn through selling their products allows them to feed, clothe, shelter, educate and provide health care to their families.
The Lutheran World Relief Fair Trade Coffee Project
The Lutheran World Relief Fair Trade Coffee Project ensures that more of the money you spend on coffee reaches the farmers who actually grow it. Fair trade coffee is a simple solution that means the difference—quite literally—between surviving and not surviving for small-scale coffee farmers.

Devine Chocolate is different. It's owned by 45,000 cocoa farmers in Ghana. They build wells, fund schools, and provide mobile medical clinics for their communities.
