Christmas is a time for giving, and whilst the ethical movement continues to gain momentum, it’s the perfect time for us to think more deeply about our products and where they come from. Around the world farmers and workers toil to produce some of the things we love to eat, drink and wear. Every day of advent, Fairtrade reveals a unique view on one of these communities. 

Grace Odhiambo Otieno is a worker on a flower farm in Siaya County, Kenya. She says; ‘I humbly request if you are going to buy a flower for family or friends, please buy it from a Fairtrade shop. It is a blessing to us. It has really really impacted many lives. I am only a single person, but I am the voice of many many people. If you buy a flower with Premium, and the money goes back to the worker, it changes a life.’

Grace’s story reflects that of many of the 1.6 million farmers and workers impacted by Fairtrade products. 

For a chance to win one of the many beautiful, delicious and luxurious gifts on offer, you can take part in this year’s Fairtrade Advent Calendar competition by correctly answering a question about the daily product or the farmers like Grace at the end of the supply chain posted by the brand of the day. Fairtrade’s Advent Calendar is the perfect introduction to what Fairtrade has to offer.
