SALT OF THE EARTH FOUNDATION
4. Salt of the Earth Foundation is an ethical philanthropic fair trade association
with a vision to give back to the communities and peoples whose hard work
and sweat created the foods and goods that are the source of the hugely
profitable global network of commodity trading.
We are a non profit wholistic organisation - all of the profits generated
through our busniess ideas will go to assisting impoverished communities
in developing nations - thus returning a more balanced share of wealth to
those creating the foods and products that are basis of global food and
resource trading.
Salt of the Earth Foundation will be promoting the expansion of this simple
but vital concept and encouraging other trade companies to join, and thus
acknowledge that vast wealth in the developed nations was created through
these unfair historical global imbalances.
Salt of the Earth's "sharing and caring" policy is designed to assist healing for
future generations and to create a more harmonious global environment
where fair trade, human rights and equity in accessing the basic nessesities
of life for all can be achieved through the thoughtful consideration and
practical efforts of business and governments alike…THIS IS THE ONLY
FUTURE POSSIBLE ON EARTH FOR US ALL.
Salt of the Earth Foundation supports the concept of the Fair Trade
Movement which seeks to promote greater equity in international
trading partnerships through dialogue, transparency, and respect. It
works to promote sustainable development by offering better trading
conditions to, and securing the rights of, marginalized producers and
workers in developing countries.

Himalayan Rock Salt is a symbol of purity - the purest
salt available on earth and is absolutely uncontaminated
with any toxins or pollutants. Himalayan Rock Salt is also
known as pink rock salt because of its distinctive pale pink
colour. Mined in remote regions of Pakistan, Himalayan
rock salt is a naturally occurring salt rich in numerous
minerals important for human health. Himalayan salt can
be harvested as large blocks, such as for cooking slabs or
making rock salt lamps, or it can be crushed into medium
and small pieces. It can also be ground up at home in a salt
grinder to use in cooking, much like regular sea salt. We
currently market 9 grades of pure Himalayan Rock Salt and
are devloping imports in culinary herbs and spices.
A Better World
7. The world is out of balance. There
are natural resources enough to
feed the hungry, cloth and shelter
the homeless. Yet there are huge
inequities in the distribution of these
basic resources, when these should
be every person's right - food, clothing
shelter, clean water. We all deserve
a fair share. Children should not be
going hungry.
The Salt of the Earth Foundation
is a philanthropic organisation
with a vision to use business
to generate resources that can
help bring about change in this
historical global inequality.
We are building a system of wealth
generation which will create resources
that can be used to feed and clothe
people in need, the hungry, orphans,
and the vicitms of war.
If you are an established business
with a heart, that enjoys success
- and would like to do something
valuable with that success - then you
have a place on our visionary team.
Please get in touch.

Himalayan Rock
Salt - a naturally
occurring gift to
your health and
to tasty cooking.
Himalayan Rock Salt is the
highest grade of natural
salt.
U n d e r a n e l e c t r o n
microscope, crystal salt
has a perfect crystalline
structure.
It is mined by hand and
hand-washed.
Crystal salt is immune to
electromagnetic fields.
Crystal Salt contains no
environmental pollutants.
There is no limited shelf
life (it's 250 million years
old) and therefore no
need for silica packets to
prevent clumping.
Using It in Cooking
Himalayan rock salt can
be used in cooking either
in whole pieces or ground
up for more delicate
seasoning.
Because of their larger
size, Himalayan rock salt
pieces are best added
whole to soups, stews and
sauces where the high
liquid content lets them
dissolve easily. Himalayan
rock salt can also be
ground with a mortar and
pestle or a salt grinder to
create smaller sized grains,
or grated.
To keep your sodium
consumption in check, be
sure to measure out the
amount of salt you use. A
one-quarter teaspoon of
salt has 500 milligrams of
sodium per serving.

Ben Debs and Barry Ferrier began planning and devloping ideas for
a philanthropic foundation that addressed the global imbalances
in wealth and inequalities in accessing the world's resources
2013
Ben and Barry formed Sydney Organic Trading Comapny in
partnership with Ranbir Singh, who introduced Bill Alexiou-
Hucker to the group. Through Bill's contacts and knowledge of
logistics the possibility of trading in Himalayan Rock Salt as a basis
for developing a sound business to underpin the Foundation was
identified. Andrew Gleeson joined the team.
2014
Salt of the Earth Foundation was established as a registered
business and began trading. The Salt of the Earth Foundation
Website and start up introductory promotional material was
developed.
2015
There's a road ahead and a mountain to climb. The story unfolds.
