Meet the sweet smiling faces of our friends from Eswatini
Our friends from Eswatini Swazi Kitchen have just sent us this message and photos which we wanted to share with you, our loyal customers and supporters:
Eswatini Kitchen staff pass their appreciation to JTS staff for their business and the partnership over the years.
We are delighted to let you know that we have now loaded the products onto the container and it is now on its way to you. Here are some photos of this happening in our warehouse. The smile and joy on the faces says it all as your support is helping to change around 30 families and over 100 dependants.
Thank you very much in Siswati our native language is Inkhosi Ibusise( God bless you)

A Fair Trade stall is about so much more than selling tea, coffee and chocolate. Every purchase supports smallholder farmers and producers who are working incredibly hard to build sustainable livelihoods in the face of climate change, rising fuel costs and an unpredictable global market. For many of the communities we work with, having reliable customers is essential. By running a True Origin stall at your church, you become part of that support network, helping to create regular demand for products that often aren't available in supermarkets or high street shops. Whether your church is passionate about global justice, caring for creation or simply making a practical difference, a Fair Trade stall is a simple but powerful way to turn those values into action. Start Small You don't need a huge team or a large budget to get started. Begin by talking with your church leaders about the idea. Many churches are happy to provide a small loan or donation to purchase initial stock, particularly if it can be repaid gradually as sales grow. Remember that most of the income from a stall is best reinvested into buying more stock rather than raising money for church funds. This helps keep the stall sustainable and ensures producers continue to receive orders. If you're new to running a stall, don't worry, you won't be on your own. The True Origin team and experienced Fair Traders are always happy to share advice and practical tips.
