With inspiration from India’s colorful culture, the Stree Shakti artisans hand stitch quilt bed covers, silk comforters, children’s quilts, baby quilts, handbags, and home accessories. Stree Shakti women’s cooperative program serves as an income-generating opportunity for women who otherwise have limited employment opportunities in the rural communities of northern India. The women receive the full benefits of their labor and are able to produce a sustainable income in a fair trade environment, which ensures proper education, health and hygiene for them and their families. |
