Child Labour

• International Labour Organization (ILO) estimates 72.1 million African children are estimated to be in child labour with 31.5 million in hazardous work. We partner with NGOs and local/traditional authorities to eliminate child labour and sanction any of our suppliers/partners or vendors that engage in such practices.

Poverty reduction and Empowerment

• We provide awareness and training to local artisans to eliminate middlemen and get the best economical value for their products.
• We give Interest free soft loans to artisanal miners to help them get the best tools for safe extraction using necessary Personal Protective Equipment.
