Venus Rizing - Teas That Infuse The Senses . . .
 Fair
trade is an organized social movement and market-based approach to
empowering developing country producers and promoting sustainability.
Sustainability that means a better life, higher pay, schools, medicine,
higher education and cooperation for all of these goals.
At Venus Rizing Fait trade is the very air we breathe. It is a way of helping others and
ensuring that our business and the products we provide are not at the
expense of third world countries; and that what we do use from them
comes with many sugnificant blessings in return - a few pennies more
for the tea we buy - saving lives and especially helping children,
worldwide in return.
The movement advocates the payment of a
fair price as well as social and environmental standards in areas
related to the production of a wide variety of goods. It focuses in
particular on exports from developing countries to developed countries,
most notably handicrafts, coffee, cocoa, sugar, tea, bananas, honey,
cotton, wine, fresh fruit, chocolate and flowers.
 Fair
trade's strategic intent is to deliberately work with marginalized
producers and workers in order to help them move from a position of
vulnerability to one of security and economic self-sufficiency.
It
also aims at empowering them to become stakeholders in their own
organizations and actively play a wider role in the global arena to
achieve greater equity in international trade.
Fair trade
proponents include a wide array of international development aid,
social, religious and environmental organizations such as SERRV
International,
Oxfam, Amnesty International, Catholic Relief Services, and Caritas International.
