Helping Narikurava women export products to global markets

JALY Home, run by Samugam Trust, provides a new lease of life for members of the nomadic tribe with a range of initiatives
The gift stockings hung from evergreen trees across several homes in Australia this Christmas will have a connection to this city. The gift hampers are the handiwork of young women from the Narikurava tribal settlements here. At the JALY Home, a refuge for street and gypsy children run by the not-for-profit Samugam Trust, a group of destitute women, including members of the nomadic tribe, are busy sewing a range of products from upcycled saris — from gift stockings, dolls and eco-friendly bags to purses and pouches. The export demand originates from the U.K., Australia, France and Belgium.More Related News
