June 12 is World Day Against Child Labor.
Ending the economic exploitation of children can only be possible when free, compulsory and quality education is assured for all children regardless of gender, race, religion, and social or economic status.
The elimination of child labor and education for all are two sides of one coin. Just as we fight against child labor at the beginning of our product cycle with our certified Fair Trade soccer balls, we also encourage children’s education at the end of our product cycle by pushing our after-tax profits to Room to Read and Boys & Girls Club of America. Until we begin producing significant after-tax profits, Fair Trade Sports donates $1000 annually to each of these organizations. Learn more here.
Please consider doing the same with your charitable dollars this year, and help fight child labor through education.
