Your Phone has Capacitors that are made with Coltan. 64% of Coltan reserves are located in Congo where child labourers are work from sunrise to sunset. Your Coffee there are estimated 200,000 child slaves working in Ivory Coast alone, harvesting 40% of the world's cocoa beans. The supply chain enslaves more people than atany other time in history. And they're working for you. Together, we'll work towards a world where everything you buy could have a new kind of "Made in..." tag.
