Charkha: Weaving Independence

This initiative revitalizes the spinning wheel as a strategic tool for the social and economic transformation of rural women and youth by training them in advanced weaving techniques and establishing decentralized production centers. By promoting ethical, hand-spun fashion to foster local entrepreneurship, the project has created financial independence for women and established a sustainable, carbon-neutral textile value chain.
