Welcoming Ghana

“The three groups were shining examples of fair trade in practice, with enthusiastic officials, excellent access to crops and meetings with workers. We saw several uses of the Fairtrade premium. The walks in woodland with farmers were magical.”

Sue, Cardiff

“Meet the People Tours has lived up to its name. I met palm oil farmers, cocoa bean farmers, banana farmers, school children, a cook, weavers, potters and many more artisans. Brilliant!”
