Clean water for everyone!

Through Fair Trade the villagers of Fenaso Domeabra now have clean water whenever they want it

Desmond Mensah, aged 13, sees the benefits of Fair Trade.

"I'm very happy that we have this well; I've never seen clean water like this before.

Before we got this well, we had to walk long distances through the forests in search of water, and even then it wasn't clean.

We want to sell more of our cocoa to Fair Trade companies so that we can invest in more things for the community.

At the moment, I go to school, but some of my friends don't. I like school, I think education is important. My favourite subject is maths, but I also like football."
