Thank you Rotarians for the amazing work you all make possible worldwide!
Collectively, we can have a great impact in the Khargone region of Madhya Pradesh, India by uplifting and employing women who live there through a fairtrade initiative; profits earned will also be invested in serving the most marginalized and impoverished members in the community. I hope this blog will become a platform for Rotarians to share thoughts and ideas in regards to this project and to be connected to the project’s development.
The goal of the Jhoole Weavers Project is to support women’s development in the Khargone region through the traditional art of Maheshwari handloom weaving. This project is a humanitarian investment rather than a one-off donation: the grant will provide the means to put a system in place that will continue to generate funds that can grow exponentially in order to benefit the weavers, their families and their communities.
Background information on the project, Rotarian involvement thus far, and our cooperating organization, Chetanya Sewa, can be found under the “Pages” section listed at the top of the righthand column of this blog. Actual posts will begin in the beginning of January when I return to Maheshwar, Madhya Pradesh, India!
