Tribes and Nations Fair Trader

Throughout history there have been individuals, or groups of people, concerned for struggling minorities, for the injustices they face, for the gap between their lives and ours. Many of these people have gone unnoticed, others have taken on powerful forces in their community or at an international level, so that things might be put right. Either way their passion for justice and love of their fellow person runs deep within them all. At Tribes and Nations, we have developed the Fair Trader system so that if this passion is in you, you might be an example and a mouthpiece for justice in trade.

 

 

Who is a Tribes and Nations Fair Trader?

A Tribes and Nations Fair Trader is a person who is looking for a practical, simple way to help people in developing countries work their way out of poverty. A Tribes and Nations Fair Trader, buys directly from us at a discount then does one or all of the following:

• Organises get togethers in homes to share of the issues of poverty and how fair trade helps 
• Sells from stalls at Church, schools, universities, events and/or markets
• Facilitates orders from family and friends in your neighbourhood
• Encourages and facilitates the use of Tribes and Nations products in the workplace.

 

To get you started-

 we will provide you with some foundational tools so you can develop a deeper understanding of the issues of world trade and how some relatively small choices on our part, can make a massive impact for good.

 

Supplement your home income-

An additional bonus being, you get to supplement your family income, by earning a little extra each month. In these difficult days, it helps you as well as the poor who produce the goods. Its a win-win for all.

 

We will provide you with:

• A start up kit including information on our partners, posters, and a Tribes and Nations banner
• Discounts of up to 40% on products
• $1000, 30 day credit account.

 

In a nutshell,  the benefits you as a Fair Trader will take to the community  are:

• Connect with people already keen to buy fair trade products but have no simple way of doing this.
• Encourage people to make subtle but significant changes in their buying habits.
• Further expand the markets of fair trade producers.
• Bring fair trade products to the attention of the public, so they can see and taste the quality.
• Bring to light the extent of unfair trade in the world. Most people are unaware but respond very favourably when they hear about it.
