Malawi Market Ministry - Africa Appeal

Africa Appeal - Malawi Mission, Hope for Haiti, Take back Tanzania and Sudan Aid are concepts conceived out of the desire to assist with empowerment programmes within the Caribbean and in Africa. Companies joining this project will commit to donating a percentage of sales to assist with the project of their choice. Much interest has been shown and there are a wide range of companies serious about helping. They include a variety of homemade products such as natural fruit juices, natural condiments, herbal health products, arts and crafts. Products range will include items in the culinary line such as pepper sauce, BBQ sauce, fish and chicken seasoning. All products are a 100% natural with no added preservatives. Other products are coming on line including art, books, music and banners.

Once the product line has been finalized product testing will be carried out in different customer environments.

We are hoping to familiarise customers with products by holding sample days in retail stores, market gardens, churches and other venues.

With these results in mind we aim to put our product line in retail stores across Barbados and within the tourism sector as well as online.

Our vision is:

To have one retail market where products can reach the consumer directly and donations can get to the projects swiftly with minimal administrative charges and maximum transparency through the internet.

PRESS RELEASE SEPTEMBER 2006

Senator Lynette Eastmond, Barbados' Minister of Commerce, Consumer Affairs and Business Development, speaking recently at a business seminar, at United Nations (UN) House, in association with the Barbados Investment and Development Corporation (BIDC), is of the view that the "synergies to be derived from Barbados' reconnection with Africa, have great potential for culture, the economy, trade and investment".

Senator Lynette Eastmond commented. "It is our government's intention to foster greater ties with the African." Senator Eastmond urged the private sector to "explore the possibility of engagement in meaningful commercial activity with Africa with the support and facilitation of government".
Mr. Anton Norris, formerly of the BIDC, commented that despite sharing a unique cultural history with the African continent, "Barbados was yet to build a lasting bridge for trading with our neighbours across the Atlantic." < Read more >
