Fiberactive Organics is a family run fair trade business dedicated to treading lightly on the earth. They are committed to increasing the market for organic cotton in order to promote organic farming throughout the world and especially here in the US. They provide work at their home studio in North Carolina for Vietnamese refugee women, who would otherwise be unemployed. These Montagnard women survived in the jungle gathering food and working in rice paddies while constantly under the scrutiny, of the tyrannical and abusive Vietnamese government. They come to America and other Western countries as refugees, allowed to work but with no marketable skills. Fiberactive provides good wages, free transportation, on site free child care, lunch, and English lessons. In the near future, Fiberactive has plans to transition to solar power.
