BAFTS Monthly Meet: Standing with Nepal
This month, BAFTS opens its doors wider. Following the recent disaster in Nepal, we’re dedicating our Monthly Meet to the artisan communities at the heart of the fair trade movement there.
Hear directly from BAFTS members Shakti.ism, Karma Gear, Lovethatstuff and Koseli, as well as written updates from Namaste, and Paper High. We will also be welcoming guests from Child Rescue Nepal – including one of the team on the ground right now.
Together we’ll explore the human impact, the response so far, and how the fair trade community can help rebuild. All welcome – join us and be part of the support.
About BAFTS
BAFTS Fair Trade Network UK is a network of independent shops and suppliers dedicated to promoting Fair Trade retail in the UK. BAFTS provides a structure of accountability to its members who adhere to the 10 Principles of Fair Trade as set out by the World Fair Trade Organisation (WFTO).
BAFTS works with UK-based independent shops and suppliers who partner with disadvantaged producer groups. BAFTS offers a way that they can have their commitment to Fair Trade recognised and be a part of the wider Fair Trade movement and community. Membership is determined by peer-to-peer assessment which takes place annually and ensures that members can provide evidence of their fulfilment of the 10 Principles of Fair Trade.
