All About Ubuntu

It’s Fair Trade Month, and we at Cool People Care are no strangers to the concept. We love the work that organizations around the world are doing to ensure a better life for farmers, workers and artisans. Once such cool organization is KEZA, which is dedicated to developing sustainable fashion businesses from women’s cooperatives in Africa. KEZA’s take on fair trade is that it is all about Ubuntu, which literally means “I am who I am because of who we all are.” If we’re all better off because of our purchasing decisions, then the world will only get better.

SPECIAL CONTEST: What does Ubuntu mean to you? Tell us in the comments to this article and one lucky person will win two fair trade necklaces from KEZA.
