COME AND JOIN THE JOY OF SHARING ON
THIS WONDERFUL DIWALI
The Artisan Foundation (TAF)
focuses on preserving and promoting the
traditional art of rural Indian artisan through sustainable livelihood
initiatives.
We
have seen many non-profits & for profits enterprises that are
working towards including this marginalized section in their supply
chain thereby
providing them economic benefits and
sustainable opportunities. However, at the same time we strongly felt
the need to have more organizations like
ours for enabling the producers to become
stakeholders and beneficiaries of the larger wealth creation process.
This triggered a powerful idea of creating
a platform that helps the artisan get
trained & certified, and then get linked with input providers such
as raw material suppliers, microfinance institutions
and banks, and further connected with
downstream players such as aggregators and retailers. We believe
creating such a comprehensive craft value chain
will not only have a direct social impact
but also act as a trade-off between producing financial returns and
sustainable growth for this community.
