Traidcraft exists to
promote fair trade across the world, and aims to help people help
themselves: they don't hand out charity. By donating money,
people help Traidcraft continue to promote projects like establishing
self-sufficient, tea growing co-operatives that avoid reliance on
all-powerful estates.

The Fairtrade Foundation is the controlling body for fair trade in the UK. It awards Fairtrade status to qualifying organisations and promotes the idea nationally, awarding the Fairtrade Mark to products which are fairly traded. There are many organisations which have helped to set up co-operatives etc in third world countries and whose prodcuts have then been approved by the Foundation. Traidcraft is one such organisation.
