Asha Handicrafts, India
Asha artisans working from home in India
ASHA in Sanskrit means "Hope" and Asha brought hope into what was largely
a "hopeless" situation by providing a marketing outlet to the actual
craftsperson. From the beginning, Asha's thrust has been the development
of the craftsperson in his natural environment through various development
projects designed to meet the needs and standards of overseas markets.
Asha today assists directly and indirectly over 103 producer groups and
5,000 craftspersons.
Asha Handicrafts Association is an association of voluntary professional
men dedicated to helping craftsmen physically, financially, spiritually
and ecologically through its Resource Center and interrelated programmes.
The Team of Asha Welfare Workers stationed at different Producer Groups
and cooperatives move closely alongwith the craftsmen and their families
sharing skills and extending medical help and education gratis irrespective
of caste and creed. Asha also imparts technical training to craftsmen to
increase their efficiency and productivity and encourage the growth and
development of cottage industries.
