The Clean Clothes Campaign says the Rana Plaza Trust Fund has reached its $30 million target, meaning victims of the disaster can be paid in full.

The campaign says the fund was completed with the help of “a large anonymous donation”.

The fund was set up to provide assistance to victims of the 2013 disaster when 1129 workers were crushed to death when a multistorey building full of sweatshops producing garments largely for multinational brands, collapsed.

The CCC has been campaigning since immediately after the disaster in April 2013 to demand that brands and retailers provided compensation to its victims.

“Now that all the families impacted by this disaster will finally receive all the money they are owed, they can finally focus on rebuilding their lives,” said CCC spokesperson Ineke Zeldenrust.  “This is a remarkable moment for justice.”

The Rana Plaza Donors Trust Fund was set up by the ILO in January 2014 to collect funds to pay awards designed to cover loss of income and medical costs suffered by the Rana Plaza victims and their families when the Rana Plaza building collapsed in the garment industry’s worst ever disaster.

In November 2014, the Rana Plaza Coordination Committee announced that it would need around $30 million to pay in full over 5000 awards granted through the scheme. However, the failure of brands and retailers linked to Rana Plaza to provide sufficient and timely donations into the fund has, until now, prevented the payment of the awards from being completed.
