BABY J'S WORKS
TO ELIMINATE CHILD LABOR
Baby J's Children's Fashion is working with the International
Labor Organization (ILO) and with the Philippine Department of Labor
and Employment (DOLE) to Eliminate Child Labor in the impoverished
sugar growing region of the Philippines. According to a recent survey
there are 4 million Filipino underage children in full time employment.
Our aim is to train and employ their mothers so the children can
return to school. We establish cottage industries for hand smocking
and hand embroideries and employ the mothers at home, giving them
livelihood so their children can go back to school. |
