How I can help
My professional background
We are a social enterprise registered in India and the UK. Our’s is an inclusive organisation with women, transgender, men and with persons with disability. Our work evolves around livelihood generation and entrepreneurship in the grassroot level in India. Alongside with a government agency we launched our simplifying lives program in 2016. https://www.telegraphindia.com/1160428/jsp/calcutta/story_82630.jsp Through my experience I realised, unless a person is economically self reliant, he/she can’t have the freedom of choice. Neither can have full control over their own life. We work towards opening up new economic opportunities and livelihood through skill development, training and market access. Also India is very rich in handwork, but often the products lack in quality and have got no relevance to our life hence no market. We engage with them, develop products using the craftsmanship, train them at our manufacturing unit, on completion either we employ them at our factory
