From September 1st 2014, Baladarshan has trained
and extended its partnership to a new producers’ group involved in the hand-woven
wire baskets project. 10 motivated inmates from the Rajiv Gandhi Home for
Handicapped (RGHH), a Pondicherry-based NGO sheltering and assisting physically
challenged women, followed this training leaded by Thenmozhi, this young lady
herself paraplegic, hailing from the slum of Gandhi Nagar in Chennai.
Indeed a beautiful lesson of courage and pride!
Thanks to the successful and growing demand for the colourful
baskets designed by Baladarshan, more and more deserving women can join the
production and make their livelihood significantly improved.
