Thirty Thousand Children to Benefit as IETP Family-Friendly Factory Program Expands to Vietnam and Mexico
ICTI Ethical Toy Program (IETP) proudly unveils plans to support 30,000 children by expanding its Family-Friendly Factory program (FFF) outside of China for the first time. Having secured funding from key partners, the FFF program prepares for operations to begin in Vietnam later this year and Mexico in 2024. IETP is now inviting more brands to assist with funding or knowledge partnerships. The Family-Friendly Spaces (FFS) program was originally launched in China in 2016, to support ‘left behind children’ – children whose parents migrate domestically to major cities for work but are unable to bring their children to live with them. In China, there are an estimated 31 million ‘left behind children’.
