In the last 10 years Craftizen Foundation has impacted over 4,500 beneficiaries across 25 livelihood centres in Bangalore, Hyderabad, Kolkata, Jaipur, Lucknow, Mumbai, Channapatna and Cheriyal.
Our mission is to provide sustainable craft based livelihoods to marginalized communities and traditional artisans. We have customized our craft training programs for adults with intellectual disability and underprivileged women in urban, rural & tribal areas to provide support across the crafts value chain from skill training to group enterprise formation, design development, sustained production and marketing.
We have developed over 350 unique designs from 30 different craft skills including wooden toy making, lacquer work, hand-embroidery and folk art painting to recycling discards such as Temple Flowers, Paper dust and single-use plastics.
Craftizen Foundation bridges the gap between the crafts and the corporate sectors through a range of initiatives including CSR programs for craft based livelihoods, customized merchandise solutions, curated artworks and workshops.
Help us raise funds for our specific needs.
