Fair Trade premiums fund local school's infrastructure expansion

Starting In 2007, workers at Shalimar Flowers used Fair Trade premiums for the construction of two elemnary school classrooms, including the installation of water fountains and storage tanks. Fair Trade community development funds also assisted in the purchase of 10 acres of land and the construction of three new classrooms for the local high school. Thanks to the workers' Fair Trade premium allocation, education is an achievable reality for many.
