I don’t just want to SAY that I’m going to leave this world better than I found it. I want to actually DO it. Supporting fair trade allows me to actively do just that.
– Sarah Faur
I believe that fair trade is much more than a label on a product. It’s the opportunity to actively contribute to improving the world as we currently know it by supporting a safer and more sustainable supply chain for the environment, the workers, and the communities they call home.
After living in Latin America for 8 years and witnessing first hand the very poor working conditions that so many people have to endure as a result of unethical businesses, I knew I couldn’t stand idly by. Things need to change! Workers deserve better! This is why I now actively volunteer with Chicago Fair Trade.
Since 2018, I’ve volunteered my time at events, and now as a Board Member, to support CFT’s mission to educate, activate and celebrate fair trade values. This allows me to ‘put my money where my mouth is’ and make tangible steps to improving broken systems in our current society.
I am personally inviting you to support me in my journey of leaving this world a better place than I found it. I am hopeful that my friends, family and colleagues will understand the importance of this organization to me and help me raise $1500 for CFT (a 501(c)(3) organization) to continue their work.
Even if now is not the right time to donate for you, if you are reading this, it’s because I wanted to share with you about the work I do, why it’s important to me, and allow you the opportunity to also support this noble cause.
Love,
Sarah
