The 208 local world shops are run almost exclusively by 7500 volunteers.
They are committed to:
- keeping their local world shop open
- promoting fair trade at a stall on the local market
- teach about fair trade in schools
- present petitions to people in the streets
- ….
Oxfam Wereldwinkels is a democratic volunteer movement. All local world shops have a vote in the selection of new partners. Together they discuss the world shop policy and vote for new producers to be added to our list of partners.
