Global Mamas – A Fair Trade Organization
“Fair trade” means that an equitable partnership exists between producers of goods in developing countries and retailers in developed countries.
The fair trade approach supports a variety of social business practices that advocate for higher standards in regards to producers’ pay, work atmosphere and environmental protection, among others. Fair trade partnerships work to provide otherwise marginalized artisans and farmers with a living wage.
The Global Mamas network of producers has grown from six founding members in 2003 to nearly 600 producers living in nine communities.
Prosperity is Financial Security
The steady work that the women in the Global Mamas community receive ensures that they are earning a living wage for their community and are fully employed. This stability gives the Mamas the confidence to know that they can cover their basic living expenses, invest in their children's education and even contribute to savings accounts to put toward future dreams.
At Nile Naturals we believe in Fair Trade and purchase our ingredients from Ghana Africa and support the women in Africa who work at the coops as they build financial independence.
