Tisser: Empowering Rural Artisans and Eliminating Poverty
Tisser is a social enterprise that is dedicated to generating livelihoods for rural artisans across India and making a significant impact on poverty reduction. Our mission is to revive the handicraft industry and promote the rich art and culture of India.
Reviving the Handicraft Industry
India has a long and illustrious history of handicrafts, with each region having its unique art forms and techniques. However, in recent years, the handicraft industry has been facing numerous challenges, including the rise of mass-produced goods and the lack of market access for rural artisans.
At Tisser, we believe that the handicraft industry has immense potential for economic growth and empowerment. By providing training, resources, and market linkages, we aim to revive traditional art forms and create sustainable livelihoods for rural artisans. Through our efforts, we hope to preserve and promote the rich cultural heritage of India.
Empowering Rural Artisans
One of the key objectives of Tisser is to empower rural artisans by providing them with fair and equitable opportunities. We work closely with artisan communities, understanding their needs and challenges, and providing them with the necessary support to enhance their skills and productivity.
Through skill development programs and capacity-building initiatives, we aim to empower artisans to become self-reliant and independent entrepreneurs. By improving their access to markets and ensuring fair wages, we strive to create sustainable livelihoods that enable them to break the cycle of poverty.
Promoting Art and Culture
India is known for its diverse art and culture, which is deeply rooted in its history and traditions. However, with the changing times, there is a risk of losing these invaluable art forms. Tisser is committed to preserving and promoting the art and culture of India by providing a platform for artisans to showcase their skills and products.
Through our online marketplace and physical stores, we bring the beauty of Indian handicrafts to a wider audience. By creating awareness and appreciation for these art forms, we hope to encourage a sense of pride and admiration for the cultural heritage of India.
In conclusion, Tisser is dedicated to generating livelihoods for rural artisans across India and eliminating poverty. By reviving the handicraft industry and promoting the art and culture of India, we aim to create a sustainable future for artisans and preserve the rich heritage of our country. Join us in our mission to empower rural artisans and make a positive impact on their lives.
