GoodWeave
GoodWeave.org is the premier international, non-profit organization that serves to eliminate child labor in the rug industry. Many fine rug companies are members, and our own that I call Silk Road Weaves is proud to be among them. As members, a percentage of the cost of each rug we sell is designated to end child labor and increase health and educational opportunities for families of weavers working in the production-side. Thus, the human connection continues to benefit all involved.
