We aim to serve as a social innovator for artisans by providing job opportunities that uplift rural India, while strengthening sustainable livelihoods, social security, health and well-being, and the preservation of craft and culture.
“We move with a simple but profound aim: to uplift artisans, their families, and the communities around them”
The Livelihoods Generation program at the Jaipur Rugs Foundation significantly improves artisans' financial health. By offering support, the foundation builds financial resilience, teaching weavers to manage resources and plan for the future, enhancing their lives and strengthening community bonds.
