Fair Trade Producer Details
In December 1984 a mistake during a routine maintenance operation at the Union Carbide plant led to an escape of 40 tons of lethal chemicals over the Bhopal community. Half a million people were affected at the time, with an ongoing impact in terms of continued ill -health or birth defects. The
immediate effect was also to wipe out many families' breadwinners.

Bhopal Rehabilitation Centre was established in 1985 with the aim of assisting and rehabilitating the victims of this tragedy, especially those who had lost their family members. The basic objectives of Bhopal Rehabilitation were to help families in economic rehabilitation by providing them -

1. Skills in production techniques
2. Opportunities for self-employment
3. Help in marketing to ensure a steady flow of demand and supply
