Our Impact

Above all we honor and value our artisan and team members as well as our earth. We work with 1000+ artisans in 40+ artisan groups in India. Through the selling of our handmade products we are able to provide safe working conditions, educational programs, new skills and sustainable trade practices.

WOMEN
Most women in India are at a disadvantage. In this male-dominated society, women earn 56% of what their male colleagues earn for performing the same work.

our impact:
55% of our artisan partners are women. We focus on creating financial independence for these women, giving them a voice.
MINORITIES
Discrimination against people of low caste and minority groups is a social issue in India. In many communities, low-caste people are still considered “untouchables” and lack social and financial opportunities.

our impact:
We provide marginalized groups with skills training and opportunities to participate in trade.
RURAL
Artisans in rural India lack resources and direct access to market.

our impact:
45% of our artisan partners are from rural areas. We help by offering design support and giving them access to market.
