OUR SHORT STORY

Back in 1988, my father left his teaching career, teamed up with mum and bought a hand spinning wheel to make woollen yarns for local suppliers in Nepal. With plenty of highs and lows over last 25 years, he has got a stable business now with about 40-50 staff, making all kind of handmade rugs. Unfortunately mum passed away back in 2008 from cancer, so she has left a big void in our family. Otherwise, things are pretty good.

OUR VISION

Just like my dad, I want to empower the underprivileged community, mostly women in Nepal by creating job opportunities for them. They are vulnerable to domestic violence and other form of abuses simply because, they have no education and can't generate income for the family. By empowering them, we will give them voice and make them an important part of the community.
