Join us for an inspiring evening as we celebrate a world of promise for artisanal mining communities and share our vision for how - with your help - we can reach more artisanal mining communities across the globe.
Pact is transforming the lives of artisanal and small-scale miners around the world, strengthening their livelihoods, families and communities. From programs to reduce child labor and bring access to the global minerals markets to working with governments to formalize the artisanal mining sector, Pact and our partners are giving hundreds of thousands of men and women working in artisanal and small-scale mines what all people deserve - the chance to earn a dignified living in a safe environment free from fear and violence.
