Details
Why should one use organic cotton in baby and children's clothing?
Conventional cotton clothes contain pesticide residues which can end up on the baby's skin and be absorbed by the body. In addition, cotton pesticides contaminate ground and surface water. An estimated 67 million birds are killed every year from pesticides.
Why is organic cotton so much softer then conventional
cotton?
In order to get the soft feel that Demeter certified organic cotton is known for, the cotton yarn is handled with great care during the knitting or weaving process. For example, only natural starch is used during the weaving process.

Did You Know...
In California, it is illegal to feed the leaves, stems and short fibers of cotton plants known as "gin trash" to livestock because levels of pesticide residues are so high.

13 Villages Project
The '13 Villages Project' takes place in 13 rural villages in Sharkeya, Egypt.
Under the Nile:
- provides excellent health care
- offers dental and physical health education
- pays fair wages
- provides two organic meals to workers each day
- operates a school from Kindergarten through Highschool
- brings work to villages, allowing women to care for their families
To ensure quality, each village is trained and assigned responsibility for making one style of Under the Nile's stuffed fruit and vegetables toys. A carefully selected woman from the village manages the workers and trains new women wanting to participate.
Each village receives an advance for their work and the materials needed to produce that toy. Upon completion, Under the Nile picks up the finished goods and pays the women fair wages for their work.
