About Us

Not For Trade is based in Salem, Oregon and consists of a group of high school students that are working against the Human Trafficking problem taking place in West Africa. Our goal is to raise awareness in society, as knowledge is power. We are currenly focusing on the foods (mainly coffee and chocolate) that are made by trafficked victims who are not fairly reimbursed for their work. We hope to influence local supermarkets to sell Fair Trade items; items made by people who are being justly paid for the goods they make.
