Mission/Vision of the company

The mission of this Berlin-based start-up is to bring long-lasting and peaceful perspectives. By enabling direct and fair trade with small-scale local farmers, the company aims to strengthen local structures in conflict-stricken regions. The company’s idea is to strengthen farmers in conflict regions through traditional trade and to give them new perspectives.

Internship

At the moment, this company partners with local farmers in Afghanistan, Palestine and Myanmar. This autumn, their plan is to extend these partnerships to Syria and to work together with local Syrian farmers. For this exciting new stage of market extension, all helping hands are welcome. You will get the opportunity to accompany the company's social pioneer project during this exciting phase of market expansion. Next to that, you will gain hands-on experience in a young social enterprise with a large network of different NGOs and politics. The working hours are flexible (30-40h/week) and home office is – after consultation with the team and in certain circumstances – also possible. Your office will be in hip & happening Berlin-Kreuzberg.
