[A higher quality version of this video is available elsewhere on our channel - YouTube has improved!] Cottage production of safety matches in a village near Kovilpatti, Tamil Nadu. About a dozen local women work here in a single room. Three quarters of India's matches are produced in Tamil Nadu, mostly hand made by women in the 15-25 age range earning around 10p(UK) per day. The Joe Homan Charity funded CEDAR project operates in this village, providing pre- and after-school education and activities for children (www.joehoman.org.uk).
