Freeset Bags was founded in 2001 and employs women who once worked in the notorious red-light district of Calcutta, providing an escape from a life of virtual slavery.

Childcare, health care and literacy programs are provided so artisans can earn a fair wage in a healthy work environment, while building a better future for themselves and their daughters.
