Before the Fairtrade Gold project, we were mining and crushing rocks the
traditional way which is time consuming, risky and labour intensive.
With Fairtrade, our eyes are now open to take up small scale mining as a
serious business venture. We are now working with greater precaution
and adapting appropriate technology that enables us crush several tons
of rock in few hours leading to increased returns. We are also more
sensitized on issues of mercury and prevention of child labour in our
mine and the surrounding community.
