"If we don't stand up for children, then we don't stand for much." --Marian Wright Edelman

Rugmark International

Rugmark International was founded in 1994 to eliminate child labor in carpet manufacturing. In Nepal, Pakistan and India, the organization monitors factories, certifies carpets made without child labor, and rescues and educates child laborers. In consumer countries, it seeks to create market preference for certified rugs, which could result in the rescue of thousands of children from forced labor and the preservation of jobs for adults.
