Raising awareness, any funds raised are for Tearfund

218km is the distance between Keng Tung in Myanmar and Chiang Rai in Thailand. This is sadly, often used as a trafficking route.

Human trafficking is an organised criminal activity that deceives and coerces people into modern slavery.

We've decided as a family to reclaim the equivalent distance ( eg. 6 of us x biking 3 km/day x 12 days = 216 km!) on behalf of trafficking victims to raise awareness, to help break the cycle of poverty and bring freedom to people trapped in trafficking and exploitation.

You can join us if you would like to!

The Ethical Fashion Guide https://www.tearfund.org.nz/Get-Involved/Ethical-Fashion-Guide.aspx is a practical tool we can also use to reduce worker exploitation and alleviate poverty in developing countries where clothes are manufactured. When we buy from brands with good grades, we’re supporting fair working conditions and care for the planet.
