1 out of 10 children are engaged in child labour across the globe. This totals 152 million children, with 73 million of them engaged in hazardous work. Just over 70% of child labour occurs in agriculture; as such our community projects focus on the cacao and cotton sector. READ MORE

ABOUT

CHILD LABOUR

We believe that sustainable solutions to the prevalence of child labour require a systemic thinking approach, as such we engage every stakeholder from the local communities at the source of supply chains, to global and domestic corporations in Japan, all the way to the consumers. READ MORE
