Do your Christmas gifts end up on a charity shop shelf? We believe world trade isn’t working. The rich are getting richer while people living in poverty and the planet are paying the price. But you don’t need to be part of the problem. This Christmas, try something different instead and know the gifts you give will help transform lives. Gifts for Life are lovely gift cards you can personalise and each represents a donation towards Traidcraft Exchange’s life-changing work with some of the most vulnerable people in trade in Africa and South Asia.
