Petite Flower Studs -- Gold

Made by women’s cooperatives and artisan groups in India that practice fair trade principles. This means that our producers are paid a livable wage in safe and fair conditions, and do their work at home and in small workshops rather than factories.  Services like on-site day-care, medical check-ups, and over-time pay are offered.

Every year thousands of children migrate to the megacities of India to find work and send money back to their families.   Providing income to women at poverty level is a way to combat the problem of child labor at its roots.  The change can be seen not only in the life of the woman employed by the co-op, but especially in the next generation, and the children the woman can afford to educate.
