Fund against Child Labour (FBK)

About this project

Around the globe, 168 million children are in work. The term 'child labour' refers to when children are too young to work, or do work that is too hard or too dangerous for them, and this work prevents them from receiving a proper or any education.Due to the lack of education for example, child labour hampers the development of individual children and of society as a whole. This means child labour is not only a consequence of poverty, it is also a significant cause.In the UN Sustainable Development Goals, it has been agreed that child labour should be eliminated by 2025 (SDG 8.7). Entrepeneurs and business can contribute to this goal through the Fund against Child Labour.The Fund from the Ministry of Foreign Affairs’ Fund makes subsidy possible for projects aimed at Due Diligence (OECD Guidelines) and local multistakeholder projects on (production)location. The Netherlands Enterprise Agency (RVO.nl) is administering the fund.
