The solidarity economy cooperative Syn Allois (which means ‘together with others’ in Greek) was founded in Athens in autumn 2011. This member of the World Fair Trade Organization (WFTO) sells fair trade and solidarity products from countries in the South, such as coffee from Chiapas in Mexico. At its head office in the Greek capital - which is also a shop, distribution centre and event venue - Syn Allois also offers products from local collective projects and from small farmers and manufacturers with whom it has direct and long-term relationships. Syn Allois distributes these products all over Greece, through an alternative network of mostly social and solidarity economy retailers and coffee shops.
