Notably, Josephine Aguti moved the crowed with her inspiring and helpful insight into what it is really like to be a mine worker. She expressed: “It’s a hard life, you work the whole day. It’s not easy. We’ve lost men, women and children.”
Aguti shared that before Fairtrade came along to support them, the miners had no idea of the danger of mercury. When it was revealed to them the room fell silent. They had pregnant women and children working with mercury, with no idea of the effects it could have.
