Gensis Football Club - Fairtrade commitedGenesis FC is one of the first teams in the country to make full commitments towards Fairtrade. With a little support from their local council they were able to purchase and play with fairtrade footballs and play in a fairtrade kit.The manager of Genesis F.C. was challenged when hearing about some of the working conditions of football stitchers."I have been stitching footballs for as long as I remember,"confided a young girl from Jalandhar, aged between 10-12 years."My hands are constantly in pain. It feels like they are burning. There is nothing I can do I have to help my older sister complete the order."
