WHO WE WORK WITH
We identify and work with adults with disabilities who are unable to find employment in the community due to their complex needs and those in other marginalising situations.
In partnership with grassroots organizations, we aim to impact regions with a high density of such individuals who have minimal access to quality rehabilitation and care.
HOW WE DO THIS
We harness the potential of those we work with by empowering them with artistic skill sets that evolve them into artisans. This will enable them to create and contribute to the world sustainably, not add on to the load of bulk consumerism.
​
Our maiden unit at Thogaimalai in Karur, Tamil Nadu has blossomed into a skilled unit of artisans who print and colour with natural materials and dyes.
WHAT THE FUTURE HOLDS
We are treading towards making each unit empowered enough to function and operate as an independent and sustainable cooperative.
We want to build a global audience and market for the unique, bespoke handcrafted products built with conscious thought, in partnership with our community of artists and designers.
