Impact Fair Anita- India

Impact

The team here is comprised of four artisan cooperatives and over 6,000 women. The team here helps to create more jobs and more job security for women. Fair Anita also partners with survivors of sexual/domestic abuse. Women are able to use their skills to develop economic self-sufficiency. The recycled materials are sourced locally. When recycled materials are not available eco-friendly products like t-shirts organic cotton bags are used instead.

How It's Made

Many pieces are handmade by women in one of the cooperatives They work with in Delhi. This cooperative works with women in the surrounding villages of Delhi, making it possible for women to work from their own homes, if they choose. The earrings and necklaces don't require machinery to make, so the artisans pick up the supplies from the cooperative's workshop and bring them home to create these beautiful earrings. They bend the thick wire using a handheld tool, then weave the small glass beads around the wire or other beads or thread.

“We are on a mission to build a company that’s good for the world and the people who inhabit it. Creating space for women to feel safe, valued, and respected—no matter their geography. This mission has led us to working with 8,000+ change making women around the world: women who are on their own missions to improve the lives of their children and communities"

A little about India

India, officially the Republic of India, is a country in South Asia. It has a very diverse population that consists of thousands of ethnic groups and likely hundreds of languages. Fair Anita works with the team here to provide long term, reliable trade agreements that allow cooperatives to hire more women and make proactive business decisions.
