What they do

Punarnawa Crafts is a women-led enterprise that revives the age-old handloom techniques while simultaneously working towards social and economic empowerment of our communities.

They envision an inclusive community where the historically marginalised population is completely self-reliant and enjoys an improved quality of life. It is to enable and empower the underserved and socially disadvantaged groups by providing them with training and transforming them into skilled artisans, such as tailors and making beautiful embroideries.

 

Punarnawa aims to restore and revitalise some of India’s most treasured handlooms and handicrafts, too. Their goal is to provide the highest quality products while balancing ethical working conditions, fair wages, and social equality.
