Elizabeth Mentoor uses a water pump to get water from a canal to use in her home. The water pump was paid for with the Fairtrade premium and can be used by members of the community.

"We only used to carry two buckets at a time and that is not enough for the family so we had to walk the whole day to get water." - Elizabeth Mentoor, Eksteenskuil Agriciltural Co-operative, South Africa

Fair Trade Fruit
Our fair trade sultanas and raisins come from the Orange River region of South Africa. The area is isolated and dry, as it is near the Kalahari Desert. Many crops are unprofitable, but farmers can get a decent income from growing grapes and drying them.

The problem for small farmers is that it takes three years before the first crop and they need training and financial help to get started. Find out more about Eksteenskuil & fair trade in South Africa »
