Threads of Hope

Program Description

Threads of Hope provides a platform for underprivileged women to create, promote and market various hand-made products like candles, bags and jewelery and become economically empowered.

As part of our mission, we place high importance on women empowerment and have taken the route of social empowerment of women through economic independence for our programs. Our Women Skill development centers provide necessary training in various market required skills along with livelihoods support for getting placed in jobs or setting up their businesses.

Taking the program one step further, we have established 'Threads of Hope' as a social entreprise. 'Threads of Hope' provides a platform for underprivileged women to create, promote and market various hand-made products and become economically empowered. During initial phase, we have setup a production unit in Borabanda, Hyderabad where we are producing different kinds of bags, candles and jewelry. In future, we are planning to expand to other products.

We want to ensure all our products meet the following criterion

• Quality
• Affordability
• Eco-friendly
• Swadeshi

We have setup stalls at various Corporate Offices to display the various handmade products (clothes, jewelry, home decor items). We are also exploring opportunities to collaborate with other like-minded organizations to support more women through marketing and distribution of their products.
