  • @kemboy83 In Africa that's alot of money. so Shut yo mouth.

  • first of all don't be rude....second of all it's a free country and i can say what i want when i want and if i have an opinion i say it whether i offend anyone.

  • With respect, I have vast experience of Kenya: wages; fair trade; unemployment-etc

    I will say again- The figue you have quoted is a TRAINEE/APRENTICE wage. Not a fully trained carver wage.

    Trained carvers get 450ksh.450 is approved by KEFAT. Good pay by local standards-above average rural wage. An Econ major below confirms this meets MDG

    The wage is FAIR. its sustainable business.

    btw What have you done in Fair Trade? -besides your critue of this business from behind a computer

  • yes i did hear that....and thank you very much in insulting me. all i'm saying that that's not enough in kenya the standard of living there is much high than that. by insulting and saying that i'm not listening, is rude and incorrect. coz i've had first count of money situation in kenya and i know 120 KSH is not enough to raise a family on whether it's per day, week or month.

  • africanbeauty84 -Do you actually listen to things? Or do you just make reactionary statements which are not only inacurate but are based on your astonishing ability to mishear and misinterperate information.

    The narator explains the the KSH120 is for trainees/apprentices. Qualified carvers get $6

  • convet that to KSH and u get 20KSH. where's da justice there. it still not enough....fox will earn thousands selling these in american stores while the cravers get wat 120ksh or 20 ksh....that's not fair trade.

  • and they say this is fair trade....it is expoliation. coz fox will make more money than them.

  • price is controlled by market forces,eventually someone else will offer a better deal,and the benneficiary will be the villagers.4 now whoever is in the deal will enjoy it.
