Missions and Outreach
The three founders of Equal Exchange came together with a shared vision in mind: fairness to farmers, and a closer connection between farmers and consumers. There is so much care and expertise from farmers that go into products, and in most supply chains, this is often overlooked. Equal Exchange's fair trade products are taking a stance and creating a difference for farmers, economy, and the planet.
Goal of the Project: To see the number of neglected children in the communities reduced, to help reduce illiteracy, and to reduce future crime rate in the country.
From the website: Their goal - building healthy, sustainable communities in the mountains of southeastern Kentucky. The need remains critical in this isolated, rural distressed area. Chronic poverty, lack of jobs, poor housing, and rugged mountainous terrain provide obstacles to a fuller life for the residents of this area. Red Bird Mission and Clinic strives to meet these needs through five program areas: education, health, housing improvements, outreach and economic opportunity.
Their Mission is to serve the broken hearted, lost, disadvantaged and impoverished people in the city of Saginaw by offering the love, hope and transforming message of salvation found in Jesus Christ by providing mission focused ministries.
