‘The income from our sales to Oxfam Fair Trade enables us to purchase better vines.’ Rafael Espinoza Producer and Chairman of the Sagrada Familia Board of Directors
• Sagrada Familia feels a little like the Chilean dream. 22 peasant families from the Lontué Valley in Central Chile went from being simple winegrowers to wine exporters in a proverbial heartbeat. • Oxfam-Wereldwinkels’ support makes it possible for growers to invest in high-quality, environmentally friendly production. Thanks to the Fairtrade premium, a social fund was set up. This fund provides every school-age child of Sagrada Familia members with a scholarship. It is also used to invest in health care and provide compensation should damage strike the crops.
