Oxfam Magasins du Monde (OMM), non-profit organization, is a movement of volunteers - supported by a team of employees - who strives to achieve socio-economic justice through challenging inequalities. OMM operates in two complementary fields of activity: 1) commercial - to develop an effective, economically viable and sustainable trading system of fair trade and solidarity products; 2) education, awareness raising and mobilization - to promote a broad-based movement for change towards socially sustainable models, influence public policy, raise public awareness and inform citizens through continuing education.
To undertake its mission OMM counts on its 2,500 volunteer members and on 1,500 students. In 2016, OMM celebrated its 40th birthday.
Oxfam considers fair trade as a lever for structural development in the South. Of course we pay a fair price to our producers, they receive a fair trade premium, we guarantee a long-term collaboration to the cooperatives and they can count on support and advice in various areas (technical, financial, organizational, etc.). But we take fair trade to a higher level. Ultimately, our goal is to make all trade fair, create a strong market position for producers, and two strong feet for them to stand on. Moreover, we raise awareness on fair trade among consumers, businesses and governments.
