Care & Fair is an industry initiative of the European carpet trade and, therefore, the forum of an engaged and responsible part of the industry.

 

Against the background of such realizations the worldwide association 
Care & Fair - Carpet Trade Against Child Labour was founded in September
1994 by socially engaged carpet traders and since manages industry-related help for self-help with which illegal child labour is combated and with which the situation of the weavers and their families will be improved in the carpet producing areas of India and Pakistan.

 

Care & Fair today has approximately 320 members in 24 consumer countries and 
2 countries of origin. 

 

    GOALS         

  • Abolition of illegal child labour in India and Pakistan.

  • To create better living conditions for carpet knotting families.

  • Socially acceptable production. Our members accept only goods produced at socially acceptable conditions.

  • Take over social responsibility and give an example that serves everyone.

 

 


At present, Care & Fair supports 10 schools, 6 adult education centres and 3 day care clinics in India and Pakistan.

'Not all child labour is bad, because day-to-day child co-operation is for many families a necessity to survive.'
