elliot. only work with small, accredited garment factories in Spain and the UK who ensure the workers are fairly paid and have good working conditions.

The fabric for our some of their products is produced by a German manufacturer who has developed strong partnerships with 2 farmers' cooperatives, the bigger one in Uganda, the smaller one in Kyrgyzstan. They buy the cotton directly from the cooperatives and they pay organic fair-trade prices.

In Uganda, they are working with the German Agency for International Cooperation or (GIZ), which is an international enterprise owned by the German Federal Government, operating in many fields across more than 130 countries. The GIZ offers demand-driven, tailor-made and effective services for sustainable development.

Their Ugandan PPP (Public/Private Partnership) is a lighthouse project. To date, they have trained 12,500 farmers in organic farming and good agriculture practice. This program has been especially appreciated because after 20 years of civil war in Uganda, the number of people with technical know-how is very low.
