AN INDIAN orphanage is to benefit from the financial support of a local ethical clothing company.

Frugi, who were formerly known as Cut4Cloth, are an organic clothing company based at Gear Farm and have held a sample sale of their goods to raise money for the orphanage.

The sale, which included seconds and samples from the organic clothing company's range, was held in Gweek Village Hall last week which raised £2,086.

For every £150 raised, Frugi will be able to sponsor a child and provide long term educational support. Children as young as four years old will be able to attend school with food, clothing and medical care provided.

The orphanage is located not far Frugi's fair trade ethical clothing factory near Mumbai.

Lucy Jewson, co-founder of the ethically-minded company, said: "I have just returned from the region and the area has large pockets of severe poverty with people just able to exist in unbelievable circumstances.

"These children have no one and nothing, but our sponsorship will give them a way out and the orphanage the means to make a positive difference on a daily basis."

Frugi's range fits from newborns to six-years. Further details about the company can be found on welovefrugi.com or by calling 01326 221930.
