Fairtrade is an alternative approach to conventional trade and is based on a partnership between producers and consumers. Fairtrade offers producers a better deal and improved terms of trade.

  • Jesus Struggling with Climate Change<br />
<br />
Jesús García Hernández, Los Horcones, Langue, Valle<br />
<br />
"The drought has been going on for ten years. It’s due to climate change. Winters were good before. But now we’ve had years without water here. We’ve got dry streams, rivers and wells. We lose our seeds and fertilizers; we even lose our hope sometimes.<br />
<br />
There are families here who haven’t had a harvest for ten years. We’ve all just lost another harvest. We prepared the soil, put in the seeds and fertilizers and, when the first bit of rain came, the plants began growing. Then the rain stopped. We got nothing. Then the rain came again but it was too late. After ten years of drought the people here have used up their reserves and there’s desperation.<br />
 <br />
We’ve had to deepen the wells, but they still dry up. The water is going down - it’s climate change.<br />
 <br />
A lot of people have left the area. Some go to work in other places as labourers or security guards or cleaners. And some risk the journey to the States. What else is there to do?"

<br />
I was in a private university. It was too expensive. I live with my mother, she’s a single mother, we couldn’t afford to carry on with the studies, I couldn’t find a job, there’s a lot of violence here, a lot. So, I decided to go to the US. <br />
<br />
We paid a smuggler, $4,000. <br />
<br />
Saying goodbye to my mum was hard, we’d never been apart before. You know it’s risky, you don’t know if you are going to come back, you are conscious of the risk, of being kidnapped, being raped, being killed. But, there’s nothing here. We don’t all have drinking water, sometimes there’s no water at all. There are people right here who don’t eat three meals a day, who can’t afford to send their kids to school, my neighbour here didn’t send their kids to school last year, couldn’t afford it. If you are lucky to get day work here, as a farm labourer, you might get 100 lempiras a day, maybe 90, depends, and it’s hard work. You can’t do much with 100 Lempiras ($4 USD). <br />
<br />
The truth is that you suffer on the journey, sometimes you walk all night, sometimes there’s not much food, you have to sleep on the floor, and it’s dangerous, you can be kidnapped, killed. They tried to sell one of the young women I was with, to sleep with men, you understand. I lost a lot of weight on the journey, I got really skinny, I didn’t get back to normal until after being in prison.<br />
<br />
I was deported twice, once from Mexico, once from the US. The first time I went I got to Mexico, I was deported back to San Pedro Sula, and then I just went straight back. I got to McAllen, Texas and was caught shortly after I got there. I was imprisoned for eight days and then deported. I didn’t have money to get a lawyer to fight my case, so I came back, I signed the form to be deported. I was in prison with Salvadoreans, Guatemalans, other Hondurans. I was 19. <br />
<br />
Thank God, the LWF has helped me a lot, from the first day I met them. With their help, we�

He was the eighth Tolupán leader to be assassinated in this small area of the country, the killings were linked to land tenure, as non-indigenous people try to take land from the Tolupán people and run mining and logging there. There are several Tolupan tribes in Honduras, split between Montaña de la Flor and Yoro.

  • Marco Rosalio Duarte laughs "Get that horse out of my picture!" <br />
<br />
Marco Rosalio is one of the leaders of the Federation of Pech Tribes in Honduras, I interview him in Pueblo Nuevo Subirana, an hour from Dulce Nombre de Culmí, Olancho, Honduras.<br />
<br />
The village has 850 inhabitants, almost all of them are indigenous Pech. There are only 6,000 Pech people. <br />
<br />
"About a quarter of the people in the village speak Pech as their mother tongue, everyone speaks a bit. Pech is taught now in the schools, but most people communicate with Spanish, particularly the young people."<br />
<br />
"The village is surrounded by forest, mainly broadleaf but some pine. The area is now a protected area, the National Congress recently approved it."<br />
<br />
"There are flaws in the reservation agreement. There are 16 white ladino families inside this new anthropological reservation, they have a bit of money too, and it's harder to move rich people than poor people in this country. It will be very hard to move them."<br />
<br />
"For protecting our area, we are threatened. Some families have entered our territory recently and have cut down forest and burned the trees to make pastures for cattle. Their intention is to make money. Our intention is to protect the environment, the forest, the water. We've made declarations to the police, and those people will go to court. This isn't the normal way of doing things here, a lot of violence is used, that's the mentality here. Berta Cáceres is just one of hundreds of people who've been killed for protecting the environment and indigenous rights. At the moment we have death threats against us for trying to protect the environment and our territory. We insist on the use of law to resolve these problems."

  • Lázaro Adalid Zablah, Los Charcos, Olancho: I’ve taken part in the programmes with Diaconia (the national partner of World Renew in the region of Olancho) and I’ve taken up everything I’ve been taught. I’ve worked on making unproductive land productive by using conservation agriculture techniques, I’ve worked on diversification, grafting, everything they’ve taught me, I’m using it. We’ve turned useless land, that no one could farm, into productive land, the technique is hard work at first, to make the holes for the compost, but it really works, everyone is impressed.
