Note: This is a fair trade message but not necessarily a fair trade product! Text reads: "FAIR TRADE. Help Africa acquire economic self-sufficiency. Food aid dependency is not a solution". Africa needs economic justice, much more than charity. If European and US politics are truly commited to supporting poor African countries, they must actively reform trade rules so that Africa can increase exports. By increasing their exports, African countries could gain much more than they receive in European and US aid. We should help Africa lift herself out of poverty and secure its own future, instead of keeping it dependent on our money aid.
