Africa is rich in raw materials - but when the manufacturing does not take place in Africa, Africa does not become rich. The export of raw materials causes Africa to miss out on added value, remaining dependent on imports of consumer goods and capital goods. In addition, Africa is losing technological development and jobs for a population that, according to the UN, is the most rapidly growing in the world.
La Maison Afrique FAIR TRADE focuses on goods with high added value, does not trade in raw materials. The colonial trade pattern was based on Africa being a supplier of raw materials. We work for change.
