Child Labour And Poverty
Today , approximately 1 billion people live in extreme poverty – an overwhelming and figure . We can never accept this number in our quest for a sustainable society . Extreme poverty is linked to all the major challenges of the world and forces people to make impossible choices between food , medicine , housing and education . It is often a root cause to global problems like child labour and denial of basic freedoms .
Hand in Hand fights poverty with entrepreneurship . The organization aims to create 10 million jobs for some of the poorest residents of the world . The holistic approach of Hand in Hand includes education and training of women , effective abolishment of child labour , compulsory school attendance and environmental programs with focus on waste management , water treatment and biogas . The work involves whole communities , which gives Hand in Hand a unique impact on the livelihood of all villagers .
So far , Hand in Hand has created 1,7 million jobs and at the current rate , 1000 new jobs are being created each day . James Harvest Sportswear supports Hand-in-Hand with funds to enable three villages to participate in the project . Our villages are located in the textile region of Tamil Nadu in southern India .
More On The Environment
James Harvest Sportswear has two main strategies to decrease environmental impact and to cut our emissions of greenhouse gas . First of all , we must influence the transportation companies that we are working with . Our membership in “ Clean Shipping Index ” aims to impact the shipping companies to use cleaner vessels by ranking the most high-performing ships . Our group of companies works with some of the largest transportation companies on the market , all of which have environmental programs in place for their operations .
Secondly , we always strive to improve our internal logistics and work methods . Within our group , we club together as much as possible of our shipments and transportations . In addition to protecting the environment , it also contributes to the streamlining of our operations . Recycling for a sustainable society To collect and recycle waste packages is a wonderful way to reduce environmental impact and create cradle-to-cradle circulation . James Harvest Sportswear embraces our producer responsibility and contributes financially to the collecting system where we operate . The Green Dot is our credential of participating in the Producer Responsibility Organization .
