• We can simply terminate the risky supply agreements immediately and
import the necessary fibre – then we would have no child labour. As a
concequence thousands of people would lose their livelihood.
OR
• We will do everything we can to help the children taking into consideration
local circumstances – identify the children in our supply chain and support
them to get education
We ask for your support and welcome you to join us in
taking small steps towards a better future for children through
livelihood for their parents and education and health for all.
