Overcoming poverty is the key goal for Swaziland Fair Trade through equipping women with the business skills necessary to make their micro enterprises profitable. The creation of dignified jobs makes the world a better place. Billions are spent annually solving societal problems that are caused by poverty. We should be spending money the other way around, supporting NGO’s likes ours to create these dignity jobs so that society no longer has to endure crime, trafficking and people having to risk their lives to find economic safety in other parts of the world. With your assistance we have secured a product developer to help the women diversify their products to meet the demands of the market. Thank you to all of you that helped to support this important work, bless you.
In August we will be bringing the developer to Eswatini to start the new round of training. We ahve also sent out a call for donations of magazines for market research and we will take 20 women on an aspirational tour around the country to spark creativity
