Company Description

t’s a great pleasure to share with you the Annual Report of GFI/Nepal for the
2016-2017 brick season. This year marked a time of significant expansion in our
outreach and impact as we worked together with our partners, government,
community and civil society to transform the brick industry of Nepal into a place
of fairness and decent work.
We are now partnering with 40 kilns, directly impacting nearly 10,000 marginalized
workers, providing choices for buyers in over 18 districts, and supporting the
government in achieving its goals on eliminating child labor and bonded labor,
promoting labor rights, inclusive growth, and many other areas.
GFI has been active in Nepal since 2013, when we started our initiative with a
small pilot program in partnership with reform-minded private sector representatives,
civil society organizations, and the Nepal government. We made the invisible
people of the brick kilns visible, so that their circumstances are no longer hidden
but can be addressed through various mechanisms that have been proven to be
effective around the world, including the market and government policies.
