BAFTS
BAFTS Fair Trade Network UK is a network of independent shops and suppliers dedicated to promoting Fair Trade retail in the UK. BAFTS provides a structure of accountability to its members who adhere to the 10 Principles of Fair Trade as set out by the World Fair Trade Organisaton (WFTO). BAFTS works with UK-based independent shops and suppliers who partner with disadvantaged producer groups. BAFTS offers a way that they can have their commitment to Fair Trade recognised and be a part of the wider Fair Trade movement and community. Membership is determined by peer-to-peer assessment which takes place annually and ensures that members can provide evidence of their fulfilment of the 10 Principles of Fair Trade.
Joy Foundation Nepal
JOY Foundation Nepal was established in 1996 by a group of Nepalese youths with the aim to collectively deliver services and assistance to the community and marginalized people in the society. Led by its Founder President Mr. Babu Kaji Shrestha, The Joy Foundation has worked with other local and international organisations to help set up and run eye care camps and health care services. To date 28,000 people's eyes have been checked and almost 6,000 have had their sight restored in these camps. The health care services provide treatments and medicines to disadvantaged, disabled and economically marginalized adults and children across Nepal.
