Indha Craft

Indha a social Enterprise was started by Literacy India as an
offshoot of Project “Karigari”. Into its eighth year now, Indha
has touched the lives of scores of women, lifting them out of
poverty and giving them a reason to smile. At Indha, women
receive vocational training in sewing, tailoring,embroidery, block printing,
vermi-compost, leaf plate making, manufacturing recycled and
handmade paper and all kinds of paper products
Literacy India, a non-profit under the Indian Trust Act (1872),
started operating from several centers in and around Gurgaon with a vision
to empower under-privileged women and children.Now has a presence in other parts of the country as well.
The idea of Project Indha was inspired by widespread financial
crisis among poor families caused due to unemployment and
other social evils. Youth also seemed to be disillusioned due to
lack of work.
Therefore, a self-help group of women in villages around
Gurgaon (Haryana), was set up in November 2004 and since
then have trained over 6000 women.
Today over 200 highly skilled women are capable of producing
all kinds of products in cloth, paper and other crafted items.
