Etika Jewels and Gulf for Good partner to protect vulnerable children in Nepal
Collaboration centres on Child Rescue Nepal initiative
Etika Jewels, the online fine jewellery retailer, will support Child Rescue Nepal, an initiative of Gulf for Good.
This UAE-headquartered non-profit entity raises funds for charity projects that positively impact children in need globally.
The new partnership between the UAE-based sustainable fine jewellery brand and Gulf for Good aims at preventing child trafficking and giving children access to 20 public schools in Makwanpur District in Nepal.
It is estimated that 80% of trafficked children in Nepal have never been enrolled in a school.
As part of the partnership, Etika Jewels will donate a portion of each of its jewellery items sold to Child Rescue Nepal’s Safe in School project, with the fundraiser continuing until November 2023.
Child protection
The new partnership between Etika Jewels and Gulf for Good seeks to keep Nepalese children safe in school and away from child traffickers’ reach, reducing child labour and abuse, especially for those working in the Himalayan mining sector.
The Child Rescue Nepal programme rescues trafficked children in Nepal, offering them permanent shelter and often reuniting them with their families.
Basma Chaieri, CEO and Founder of Etika Jewels said: “Etika Jewels believes that a holistic and collaborative approach is necessary to achieve sustainable development and improvement.
“Creating an ethical alternative to diamond and gemstone fine jewellery was our first step in becoming part of an ecosystem that solves socio-economic problems.”
Referring to the Gulf for Good partnership, Chaieri added: “As we continue to grow, we aim to partner with more like-minded projects, institutions and industry leaders to extend our support to people in need.”
Basma Chaieri founded Etika Jewels in 2022 in the UAE. The brand produces contemporary jewellery from lab-grown and sustainably sourced diamonds and gemstones.
