Company Overview:
CAFOD has been fighting poverty for 45 years. We work alongside people living in poverty, whatever their race or religion, in more than 60 countries. Our aim is to promote justice and equality, and bring about positive changes in the lives of underprivileged people.

CAFOD stands for the Catholic Agency for Overseas Development. We work with lots of other charities and agencies here, and overseas, with the common goal of fighting poverty
Mission:
Here are just some of the things we do:

• Campaigning for a fairer world, and encouraging loads of people to join us! We also demand that politicians consider poor communities when they are making big decisions that affect the world.

• Working with underprivileged people to help them make positive and long-term changes in their lives, and building global partnerships for change.

• Supporting projects such as schools, farms and health centres in poor communities, using funds raised from supporters.

• Providing relief and aid after natural disasters or conflict – helping to rebuild communities and bring support to people who need it most.

• Talking to Catholic communities and young people in schools about poverty issues and global justice, and putting faith into action.
We can’t do any of these things without the support of people like you!

It's about long term gain, not short term pain... Supporting Fairtrade producers means a future out of poverty. Spending sprees on credit have finally driven Western societies into the red, but this shouldn't mean that the poorest should pay. Use your spending power to get credibility not credit.

Current economic crisis is definitely making us all think about how we spend our money. Although many people here will suffer, I still think we are in a better situation than people in developing countries who work under hideous conditions because they have no choice. So, if I'm given a choice, I will always buy fairtrade because I know that it guarantees a fair price to the producer in a developing country.

As the credit crunch starts to take its toll, and food prices start to rise do you think that fair trade food will suffer as people go for the cheapest food options?
