Since our last newsletter the first orders for tailor made corporate Christmas cards are coming in.
Did you already tell your boss how he or she can spice up their end-of-year communication making use of one of FairMail’s fair trade Christmas pictures? And at the same time help the dreams of one of our teenage photographers come true?
Nowadays most companies and organisations are aware of their Corporate Social Responsibility and actually have a CSR policy in place. However they find it is often not so easy to communicate this to the outside world. That’s where FairMail comes in. We made it very easy for your employer to fulfil and express its social engagement by using a FairMail photo for corporate Christmas cards, e-cards, social media, website or publications.

It is really easy to make your message fair trade and show the rest of the world that you care. All you have to do is:

fair trade Oxfam card with image by FairMail Peru photographer Yuli
We are very proud to announce our new cooperation with Oxfam Belgium. All the images for their 24 new fair trade photo greeting cards have been taken by the Peruvian and Indian FairMail teenagers.
Besides the images, FairMail also provided the FairMail concept for Oxfam’s new cards. Just like with a normal FairMail card you can also find the picture, name and email of the teenage photographer on the back of the Oxfam cards.

Cooperation between NGO and social enterprise
The cooperation was born during the Belgian visit of FairMail Peru photographers Anidela and Angeles in June 2015. During one of their presentations for the buyers of the Belgian fair trade shops they inspired Oxfam to switch to the use of fair trade images for their cards.
Allowing them to further align their products to Oxfam’s international mission to fight global poverty. While at the same time helping FairMail to combat child labour through the art of photography.
We hope this cooperation will inspire other NGO’s (Non-Governmental Organisation) to follow Oxfam’s example.

Angeles’ winning fair trade photograph
The building site of FairMail’s future office in the Casi Casa complex already proved useful as background for a tailor made card order from one of our corporate customers.
The Dutch eco-building company “Building Traditions” asked our teenagers to come up with an image transmitting the company’s values: diversity, sustainability and cooperation. As Building Traditions offers eco-friendly mud built housing solutions to its clients the FairMail teenagers needed a nice and quiet place with a lot of mud to work on their ideas!
After drawing their ideas on paper and presenting it to their fellow team members they got to work, often inviting little brother, sisters and neighbours as models for their fair trade photographs. Besides using Casi Casa as photography set the kids also took pictures at local archaeological sites (the world’s largest mud city Chan Chan), at a mud brick factory and in their own neighbourhoods.
FairMail Peru photographer Angeles
In the end 18 year old Angeles shot the winning image of her niece playing with mud in the street where they live. Christo, Building Traditions director, choose this fair trade image for their corporate card to send to their customers and relations. Angeles received 60% of the profit FairMail made to invest in her own education. Money that was very welcome as she is currently preparing for the university entrance exam to study Social Work.

Front side of FairMail’s Corporate Christmas Flyer
In pursuit of diversifying the income from the photography by the teenagers we are happy to see that more and more companies and organisations are asking FairMail to provide fairtrade images for their communications. This way not only helping the teenagers earn money to pay for their own education, but also providing added inspirational value for their communications.
Here are 3 examples of corporate communication helping teenagers into the school benches:
Fairtrade FairMail photography for ASN Bank year report
The ethical ASN Bank has been a regular customer of FairMail for years now. For the 2014 year report of their foundation they asked FairMail to produce images of fair trade coffee producers in Peru. During the photography trip along the Organic Coffee Route Diana and Angeles shot images of the coffee farming family they stayed with for a couple of days. Allowing them to pay for their university education.
El Puente is one of Germany’s biggest distributors for the 800 German fairtrade shops. To communicate the story behind their fairtrade products they wanted pictures of their Peruvian producers. Therefor in November, 3 FairMail teenagers will travel to the capital of Lima for 3 days to visit 9 producer groups. Their pictures will not only show how they work, but also the impact fairtrade has on their lives.
Juan Gabriel shooting fairtrade photographs for Hostal Naylamp
Hotel Naylamp is based in the Peruvian fishing village of Huanchaco, just like FairMail Peru. When they wanted to update their website they asked the teenagers to shoot images of their rooms, restaurant and guests. Guided by 2 of our volunteer photography trainers they took the requested images during 4 FairMail classes. Definitely something different compared to shooting for FairMail’s Christmas cards!
If you would like the FairMail teenagers to provide images for your employer’s communication, please contact us here.
FairMail was featured in the Dutch television program called “Grensverleggers”.
This national business TV channel is covering Dutch entrepreneurs running their social enterprises abroad to create social impact.
The 12 minute episode about FairMail shows the teenagers taking pictures for Ben & Jerry’s corporate Christmas cards on the beach.
Below you can view the episode with English subtitles.
