"The higher price we get when we sell coffee on fair trade terms means that I can afford more food for my family and send my children to school with pens and notebooks for the first time," says a Peruvian coffee trader.
Kuapa Kokoo, a Fair Trade Ghanian cocoa co-op with 45,000 farmer members has set up schools and nurseries for their communities. Kuapa earned about one million dollars in extra income through fair trade over the past eight years- equivalent to annual primary schooling costs for 245,000 children in Ghana.
