Nepal - Kathmandu - Carpet weaving industry

Ashal Carpet Factory does not employ children and is a licensee of the GoodWeave Foundation and their carpets carry the GWF label. It is a category C however and GWF inspectors come by regularly to check for child workers. Some women have no other alternative than to bring their children to work which is something GWF try to address by setting up child crea centres but they they cannot reach all children this way. The Good Weave Foundation is a charity set up in partnership with the Nepalese carpet industry. The aim is to eliminate child labor in all carpet factories in Nepal. Factories which do not employ children can sign up with the charity and become a licensee to the GWF brand and label their carpets with the GWF label which promises any buyers abroad that no children were involved in making the carpets.
