4 Points about Brazil

Brazil is on the coast so it is easy to ship items to near by countries, they can also help countries around Brazil with supplying food and other items.

The government are very supportive of fair-trade, they already give free fair-trade school meals to all big city school children.

In Ceara, a state in Northern Brazil, half of the population live in extreme poverty, earning less than $40 per month.

We also want to teach other countries about fair-trade.
