Mission, Vision and Values

We are the first company dedicated to identifying child labor through technology. Our algorithm allows us to identify potential cases of child labor in agricultural tasks.

Our mission is to be the best alternative for those who wish to guarantee that raw materials were produced free of child labor.

Part of our profits are reinvested in improving the living conditions of children affected by child labor and their social environment.

How do we fight child labor

Through an image capture system, we were able to make contact with potential cases of child labor.
We use drones and cameras that carry out controls in a scheduled or unexpected manner.
The images are sent to our servers, where the anthropometric recognition algorithm detects minors in field tasks.
Our system identifies cases as registered employees (white list), unrecognized employees (unknown) and possible cases of child labor (suspicious).
The producer is informed about unrecognized and suspected cases.
Once the control is approved, we issue the “child labor free” certificate.
