Meet the producers

One of the groups you will be visiting is Tara Projects, a non-profit organisation based in Delhi, which works with over 25 community-based groups of artisans in Northern India.

They have been supplying Traidcraft for 20 years. Tara's objective is to help craft workers to achieve self-sufficiency by providing income-generating opportunities and developing marketing skills.
