Over the almost 25 years of partnering with importers, and exporters, GoodWeave has rescued over 5,000 children from labor, provided quality education to almost 26,000 rescued and vulnerable children, and reached more than 75,0000 workers predominantly in carpet supply chains.  Most recently, GoodWeave has expanded into apparel, home textiles, fashion jewelry, bricks, and tea where its reach and impact continue to grow. In partnership with global brands, GoodWeave’s home textile program now certifies select home textile products with the GoodWeave label – the best assurance that they were made without child labor. GoodWeave’s impact goes beyond reach numbers as it has been a leading voice in positively influencing societal norms and behaviors to eliminate child and forced labor.
