Fair Trade Garment Factory With Heart

What started in 1994 as a non-profit rehabilitation program by the Franciscan Sisters for underprivileged women and the physically disabled, now stands as a garment manufacturer with a strong ethical reputation. They started with 5 machines and ten girls. Today they employee up to 300 at peak times. Assisi was among the first companies in India to use organic cotton manufacturing. Their heart is always with the environment they operate in. Conventional cotton farming uses synthetic fertilizers and pesticides which are harmful to nature and people. That is why Assisi exports only Fair trade garments across the world. Their vision of giving back still stands strong as Assisi provides women a secure and safe workplace and fair wage. This includes a bonus after four to five years of employment that allows them to start a home and often their own tailoring business.
