Furniture World News By Nic Ledoux on 3/1/2021 Nina Smith, the founding CEO of GoodWeave International, was recently named a recipient of the 2020 Tufts University Alumni Award for Active Citizenship and Public Service, which celebrates contributions to improving the lives of others. GoodWeave is the leading global NGO working to stop child labor in global supply chains. GoodWeave brings visibility and rights to workers; restores childhoods; and provides assurance to companies and consumers that carpets and home textiles with the GoodWeave ® certification label are produced free from child labor. Under Smith's leadership over the past two decades, GoodWeave has pioneered and innovated a market-based system that has led to the rescue of nearly 8,000 children from exploitation. The organization has also provided rehabilitation, education and other critical support to rescued children, as well as tens of thousands of other children in producer communities in India, Nepal, Afghanistan and Bangladesh.
