As a responsible carpet retailer, we at Hadys are committed to the Care & Fair campaign. This initiative was launched to promote social responsibility in the carpet industry and create better living conditions for carpet weavers and their families. In this blog post, we would like to introduce you to the values and goals of Care & Fair and explain why this commitment is so important to us.
What is Care & Fair?
Care & Fair - Teppichhandel gegen Kinderarbeit e.V. is an initiative founded in 1994 that is committed to combating child labour and improving the living conditions of carpet weavers' families in the main producing countries of India, Nepal and Pakistan. Various projects finance education, health and social programmes that benefit the families in the producing countries. The initiative is supported by many companies in the carpet industry that are committed to ethically responsible trade.
Goals of Care & Fair
The main objectives of Care & Fair are
- Combating child labour
Care & Fair works intensively to prevent child labour in carpet production. They support access to education for the children of carpet weavers' families so that they are not forced to work at a young age but have better prospects for the future. - Education and schools
The organisation finances the construction and operation of schools in the producing countries. In this way, the children receive a sound education, which enables them to break out of the cycle of poverty in the long term. - Healthcare
In addition to education, healthcare is another key concern of Care & Fair. In many regions, people have no access to basic medical care. Care & Fair helps to set up health centres and carry out medical programmes. - Social responsibility
Companies that support Care & Fair contribute to more sustainable and responsible carpet production. This responsibility begins with the purchase of a carpet. Every carpet produced under the Care & Fair guidelines stands for fair treatment of workers and their families.
Why do we support Care & Fair?
At Hadys, we realise that carpet production is not just a craft, but also a livelihood for many families. We want to ensure that the people who produce our high-quality rugs work under fair and humane conditions. By supporting Care & Fair, we are helping to give people in the producing countries a better future.
For us, buying a rug is more than just a transaction. It is a decision in favour of sustainability, responsibility and support for social justice. Every purchase of a rug in our online shop helps to continue this important work and bring about positive change in the countries of origin.

By purchasing a rug from Hadys, you are choosing a product that is not only aesthetically pleasing and of high quality, but has also been produced under fair conditions. Your purchase helps to further advance the work of Care & Fair and give people in India, Nepal and Pakistan a better outlook on life.
