We are all familiar with the horrors of child labor especially in the textile industry. This month I wanted to highlight an amazing organization GoodWeave, whose vision is a world free of child labor. They do this by identifying, monitoring, and certifying South Asian carpet-weavers who have committed to manufacturing their rugs without the use of child labor.
My friend and fellow Returned Peace Corps Volunteer Senegal, Sandra Holmberg, is GoodWeave’s Senior Manager for Capacity Building and Training. If you have any questions about the organization please check out their website!
And…if you are ready to make the commitment to buy certified rugs and textiles, please look for the GoodWeave Label at the shops and brands HERE!
