Overview

In 2019, taking a stand against child trafficking and child labour in Rajasthan, RR Foundation collaborated with the British Asian Trust in 2 projects that aim to eliminate child labour in the entire business chain and provide safe haven for rescued children thereof. British Asian Trust along with its partner organisations is implementing Child Labour Free Jaipur initiative to stop child labour in Jaipur. The British Asian Trust was founded in 2007 by the Prince of Wales and a group of pre-eminent British Asian business leaders. The Trust works to tackle the widespread poverty and hardship in South Asia to which millions are currently subjected.

The partnership with British Asian is a testament to Rajasthan Royals’ Trust unwavering commitment to promote sustainable value-chains with empowered women at the core of the initiatives.
