We decided to do something a little different this week by featuring an artisan group, Tara Projects, and the group’s stylish Tara collection.
Tara Projects was started in 1973 by university students in New Delhi who wanted to impact the lives of “untouchables,” people oppressed by a caste system which deems them impure.
 Through it’s strategy of “trade, not aid,” Tara Projects has improved the livelihoods of hundreds of disadvantaged and “untouchable” artisans in and around Delhi, who rely on self-sustaining job skills and benefit from education programs, safe work environments, health care and retirement plans, and no-interest loan programs. Considering the impact Tara Projects has made in the lives of these artisans and their families–not to mention the collection’s bright colors and great style–we feel pretty proud to offer this line! |
