Our Aim

We believe in helping people reach their potential and want to help low income individuals in rural communities in India get the technical knowledge, skill and support they need to build a healthy, sustainable life for theirself and family. We aim to help develop opportunities for income generation and provide business support to artisans, farmers, individuals and village communities. We are currenting working to develop a craft business in the U.S. for marketing handicrafts made by artisans groups and raise funds for supporting business development, skill training and community development in rural communities in India.

Our initial project involves working with a marginalized tribal group outside of Dehradun in the Northern Himalayan Mountains to help restore a traditional craft and provide market support for their organic milk. The project will help the people to earn an income to elevate their standard of living, provide support to their families and strengthen their community. We would also like to provide support to individuals in other rural communities to help target the needs of the people and provide skill training and assistance for other business development and employment opportunities. We aim to develop a U.S. registered charity for collecting donations to support training and business ventures for individuals in communities we work. Our overall aim is to serve as a facilitator to help people living in rural areas get access to the resources and income opportunities for creating a just, sustainable life.
