CREA's Fair Trade-Peace Trade Project
Some
years ago in Haiti, Dumond, driver for the Women to
Women
Dumond’s
challenge came to mind when Sister Ruth encountered the Ruth and Nohemi
cooperative in Guatemala. Started
as a way for the war’s widows to support themselves, the cooperative has
begun to include young men. Decent work for men provides alternatives to
the gangs and the militia. Fair
Trade/Peace Trade incorporates the concepts of both fair trade and
decent work for peace.
CREA supports the Ruth and Nohemi cooperative and the Semilla de Paz
cooperative in El Salvador by expanding their markets and by assisting
in the development of new products. Purchasers of their products assist
in furthering the Fair Trade movement and strengthening efforts for
peace.
CREA Europe
On
February 12th, 2007, CREA Europe become a legal reality
This
expansion of CREA will place it in a position to collaborate more
effectively with other non-governmental groups in the European
Union, and to participate more closely in the economic and governmental
projects that the EU
undertakes.
As
always, our goal is the sustainability of
human communities and of our planet, particularly as the lives of
the most vulnerable communities are affected.
