Informations supplémentaires:
Accommodation at the Amity Factory factory.Many of the men and women working at the factory also live there and their children play around the grounds. Amity Factory does not employ children and is a licensee of the Good Weave Foundation and their carpets carry the GWF label.The weavers work according to the design, printed on paper hanging above them. Most are women and many mothers and they work in the factory 12-14 hours /day 6 days/week. A carpet requires between 100 -400 knots/m2 depending on design. The more knots the more complicated and time consuming. An adult weaver makes 3-6000R/m2. A good and effective weaver can make and save an estimated $50.00/months provided she/he does not fall ill or has to child mind at the same time. A child laborer usually only gets food and accommodation and is therefor very cheap labor. The licensee factories fall under three different categories, set by GWF;A for not very likely to hire children, B for more likely and therefor require more often inspections and C for likely to hire children and there for need constant supervision with regular visits any time of the day by GWF inspectors. Amity Carpet Factory is in category A. 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.
