It was our pleasure to welcome Christine and Elise from WFTO  to the Jacobs Well unit this week.  We were able to show them around the unit, introduce them to the whole team and spend more time working on the new WFTO Guarantee System paperwork together.

Fashion Revolution Day 2016 marks three years since 1,134 people were killed and over 2,500 injured when the Rana Plaza complex collapsed in Dhaka, Bangladesh.  It was the worst ever industrial accident to hit the garment industry and the Fashion Revolution campaign aims to make sure such an atrocity never happens again. 

We’ve been so fortunate to have had several visitors share their expertise with our training class recently.  The experience and skills that each visitor shares has helped to create such a vibrant and lively learning environment!

One of the things we most enjoy about being part of the World Fair Trade Organisation is connecting with other member groups, be it here in south India or around the world – it’s fantastic to see all the creative work being done by producers and a passionate commitment to fairness and empowerment in the workplace by the management.

The training course run by Fashion with Heart Creations here at the Jacobs Well unit is underway!  In fact, we’re now nearly halfway through the six month course, which covers cutting, stitching and fashion design.

Halagevaderahalli!  How fast can you say that?

Completing 69 mile run across Hadrian’s Wall. Our amazing Sales Manager Jayne conquered The Wall! On 20th June she successfully ran nearly 70 miles, raising an incredible amount of money for two charities including Fashion with Heart Creations who support Jacobs Well.
