“Fair trade is trade based on solidarity, and we believe that we as the Weltladen movement can make an important contribution to global solidarity with the“ #fairwertsteuer ”campaign.” This is the conviction of the employees of the Weltladen in Schongau.


“Fair trade is trade based on solidarity, and we believe that we as the Weltladen movement can make an important contribution to global solidarity with the“ #fairwertsteuer ”campaign.” This is the conviction of the employees of the Weltladen in Schongau.

Schongau - Elke Schaur, who runs Weltladen, also says: “We received terrifying news from our producers in Weltladen right from the first lockdown.

Due to the drop in sales and the lockdowns in the southern countries, production there could not be maintained in many cases or only to a very limited extent.

In some cases, the sources of income failed completely - and the producers can hardly count on government support. "

But: “Our fair trade importers keep orders and order new goods.

Different from what is often the case in conventional retail.

But that alone is not enough, ”continues Schaur.

Many people would have to be supported with food parcels.

The Weltladen Schongau has therefore decided to take part in the “#fairwertsteuer” campaign, an aid fund set up by the Weltladen umbrella association.

"Our customers showed their solidarity in the past year, and we were able to support the producers hardest hit by the lockdown with 4050 euros with the income from the VAT cut and with further donations", Schaur continued.

“Many customers also deliberately made their Christmas shopping with us.

We are very grateful for that. "

In order to continue to support its partners, the Weltladen offers a pick-up and delivery service.

In addition, the world shop is open again at the usual times - but currently only for the sale of food, beverages and hygiene products.
