Sustainable Development Goals
01.
Ending Poverty
Urban development in Delhi has left the farming village of Bandhwari with limited job opportunities. Through the Bandhwari Women’s Project, women gain access to work that would otherwise be unavailable.
05.
Gender Equality
At our core, we exist to uplift the women of Bandhwari. By employing only women to create our products, we actively challenge the village’s patriarchal norms.
08.
Decent Work and Economic Growth
By compensating the women for their skills, we empower them with opportunities for financial advancement.
12.
Responsible Consumption and Production
All of our products are crafted using recycled sari and organic cotton, made with a commitment to ethical labor practices.
