What makes it fair?

This small picturesque Peruvian factory stands in stark contrast to the gritty poverty of its Lima-area neighborhood called Santiago de Surco. Every time we visit, the factory's owner Diana has impressed us with her personal involvement (including liberal doses of hugs) with the 300 or so workers who earn fair wages and benefits here. For fifteen years, Diana's factory has provided meaningful and important employment to this struggling community. Diana also donates fabric and machinery to a local technical school, some of whose graduates come to work for her. Some of the other graduates of the school have set up their own small worker cooperatives that Diana uses when orders exceed capacity. That's economic development you can believe in.
