Fair world group Neunkirchen is looking for reinforcements for fairer projects

In Neunkirchen there are alarming news from the field of fair trade. The local fair trade group, which has been active for 45 years, now needs help itself and is urgently looking for new employees. The group that aims to contribute to a fairer world is faced with a reduction in their team due to the progressive age of their members.

The "Fair Welt Group" in Neunkirchen organizes numerous activities to make fair trade known. "An important point is also to make the audience of fair trade - fair trade. Another important motivation to get involved in the group is the responsibility for creation," explains Monika Prüller. This is a group within the parish of Neunkirchen, which also takes care of the collection of donations. These funds flow directly into development aid projects that work with a clear focus on "help for self -help".

activities and initiatives

The regularly carried out events are the Weltkirchen Café, which takes place every first Sunday of the month. A solidarity market is offered here on which fairly traded products such as coffee, tea and spices are sold. The pre-Christmas market, which is organized annually, is particularly popular, which includes a wide range of fair trade handicrafts and local delicacies. The “fasting soup” in the glass has also established itself as an integral part of the offer.

Another highlight is the "Kost Nix" market, which is all about sustainable handling of resources. Here clothing can be exchanged or given away and thus addresses the current problem of "Fast Fashion", a concept that aims at fast fashion and is often associated with pollution.

The group invites all interested men, women and young people to actively contribute. If you can get enthusiastic about the projects, you have the opportunity to either contact the parish office or stop by at the events. The municipality of Neunkirchen was appointed 30th Fair Trade community in Lower Austria in 2012, which underlines the importance and commitment to fair trade in the region.

Further information about the activities of the "Fair Welt Group" are available on their website . In order to continue to support the community in fair trade, new members are essential to promote the valuable work and promote a fairer world.
