About Boutiques du Monde - Weltbutteker

Late 1991, a first “Third World Shop” (“Boutique Tiers-Monde”) as they were called at that time opened its doors at à Esch-sur-Alzette. The start of the venture was modest: in November / December 1991, the shop was nothing more than a retail outlet at an establishment belonging to the Soeurs de la Doctrine Chrétienne (Christian Sisters) located in Grand-Rue. 

Then the shop moved to less cramped business premises located not far from Place des Remparts (Ramparts Square). In May 1994 we moved to our present address at 34, rue du Fossé.

Late November 2007, we opened a second retail outlet at 95, rue de l'Alzette. It was now possible for a fair trade business to have a shop front in the town centre.

From a dozen or so founder members, the initial volunteers expanded to a team of some sixty involved in the project.

The two Boutiques du Monde at Esch

It should be pointed out that the two shops are managed by two teams who ensure coordination by working through a committee. Goods on sale are not the same in both shops.

In the shop at rue de l'Alzette, there is a wide array of food products and cosmetics on sale together with jewellery, giftware and clothes.

In the shop at rue du Fossé, there is a full range of food products and numerous craft objects. For instance, there are musical instruments, knitting wools and books on the shelves. What is more, this retail outlet is better placed for customers who come by car to buy articles in larger quantities.

Some of our activities take place away from our business premises: we regularly organize stalls at Christmas markets and other events, we have a small retail outlet in the Rehaklinik medical establishment at the Kirchberg National Centre, “Eis Épicerie” de Soleuvre (Souleuvre Groceries) proposes a small range of our articles and finally, some volunteer co-workers arrange for the distribution of certain products in their locality of Rodange/ Lamadelaine.
