I believe giving has no social economic class or race and everyone can and should experience the joy of giving; and giving and receiving are not mutually exclusive
– Rahel Mwitula Williams
Hello friends, new and old! I am honored and humbled that you’re reading this, and my hope is that you will join me in making steps towards a just, fair, and sustainable economy. What an audacious vision but IT CAN BE DONE, and we are doing it through Chicago Fair Trade (CFT). It’s the model behind my business ILAVA. What a joy to meet, connect, build with like-minded business through CFT community.
At CFT we do our work by educating, activating, and celebrating those in Chicagoland and beyond. This year we are proud to open the very first fair-trade museum a place where people can learn about fair trade and labor rights movement (do you know Chicago is the home of labor movement).
This year my personal fundraising goal is $1,000 and beyond… We can reach this goal with single $1,000 donation or 1000 people giving $1 each or double my goal but doing both and we will celebrate because we all have something to give towards a just, fair, and sustainable economy.
Help me raise money!
My personal goal is $1,000.00
Donate to our Flash Fundraiser page and make sure to choose my name for your donation inspiration!
Thanks to all the donors!
So far, my donors have raised $451.58 out of my goal of $1,000.00.
