Low income women empowerment in Bhiwandi, Mumbai

AAF  business initiative mobilizes rural artisans who are located in various different clusters across India, each of the clusters are managed by state partners and local Master Artisans, to help them earn sustainable livelihoods thus preventing the rampant unsafe migration in the region and therefore makes people less vulnerable for human trafficking. Making them independent and financially secure which contribute to their self-esteem and improved the quality of life of their entire family is our motive.

But this initiative imposes challenges, as lot of time and resources are required for designers to travel from cluster to cluster to provide training. AAF seeks to create Resource Centres, a hub to train the Master Artisans of different clusters across India to ensure the high quality of the products. Also, the wholesale buyers can collaborate directly with the AAF’s designers and artisans to ensure fullest satisfaction to the specific requirements. The resources saved by establishing the AAF Resource Centre will be directed to engage more artisans to the business initiative.
