Bamboosa Up-Close

Bamboosa's fair-wage sewing facility is located in Andrews, S.C. and is a company with a small production line. Meet the faces of some of our sewers, cutters and shipping department staff and think about the people you are supporting when you buy from Bamboosa. We don't employ children and our employees work in a safe, comfortable environment for forty hours a week or less.

Child Labor. Bangladesh:

"Child labor is not a new issue in Bangladesh as children there remain one of the most vulnerable groups living under threats of hunger, illiteracy, displacement, exploitation, trafficking, physical and mental abuse. Although the issue of child labor has always been discussed, there is hardly any remarkable progress even in terms of mitigation. 17.5 percent of children aged 5-15 are engaged in economic activities. Many of these children are engaged in various hazardous occupations in factories."
