Y Focus certified Fair Trade soccer balls, volleyballs and rugby balls are hand stitched in Pakistan by workers who are paid better than average wages, and given additional health and educational benefits for themselves and for their families. No children under 15 are making these balls. All balls are hand sewn with 5 ply twisted polyester thread and guaranteed against manufacturing defects in the stitching.

Using the profit from their local sales, Y FOCUS also raises funds for peace building youth projects in war-torn and poverty stricken countries.
