October 2005 Community Crusade - TransFair USAThis October, KUSF's Community Crusade celebrates Fair Trade Month by highlighting the work of TransFair USA. TransFair USA's mission is to build a more equitable and sustainable model of international trade that benefits producers, consumers, industry and the earth.
Fair Trade is an innovative, market-based approach to sustainable development. Fair Trade helps family farmers in developing countries to gain direct access to international markets, as well as to develop the business capacity necessary to compete in the global marketplace. This leads to higher family living standards, thriving communities and more sustainable farming practices.
The Fair Trade Certified label guarantees that farmers and workers received a fair price for their product. The Fair Trade price means that farmers can feed their families and that their children can go to school instead of working in the fields.
For further information on Fair Trade products or how to volunteer your time to TransFair USA, call 510-663-5260, or visit www.transfairusa.org.
October 2005 Community Crusade - Oxfam AmericaIn the wake of Hurricane Katrina, KUSF's Community Crusade for October spotlights the work of Oxfam America. Oxfam America is committed to creating lasting solutions to global poverty, hunger, and social injustice.
Oxfam America is an international development and relief agency. Oxfam delivers development programs and emergency relief services, and campaigns for change in global practices and policies that keep people in poverty.
Across communities in southern Louisiana and Mississippi, where poverty rates soar above the national average, many of the most marginalized people have neither resources to fall back on nor much hope that government assistance will reach them any time soon. Oxfam is providing a direct response and helping communities with their long-term recovery.
Your generous support fuels Oxfam America's work in poor communities, both through your donations and your volunteer commitments. For further information regarding Oxfam America and how you can help, call 1-800-77-OXFAM, or visit www.oxfamamerica.org. Oxfam America is a Boston-based international development and relief agency and an affiliate of Oxfam International. Working with local partners, Oxfam delivers development programs and emergency relief services, and campaigns for change in global practices and policies that keep people in poverty.
