List of Partner Organizations
Synergy is committed to women's empowerment via The Typecraft Initiative. Their grant to our initiatives allows us to not only provide livelihood to craftswomen, but also enables us to impart skill development to these women through our design methodology workshops that emphasise independent thinking and self-expression as well as the promotion of literacy through the letters the women create.
Thus far, Synergy has supported projects in Kutch such as — the Rabari Latin script typeface with Dhebaria Rabari craftswomen, Soof embroidered Latin script typeface with Meghwad Maaru craftswomen and Mithila Devanagari typeface with artists from the Madhubani district of Bihar.
Mon Ami Foundation is an independent, not-for-profit Trust, registered in India, with a strong focus on social responsibility. We work closely with corporates, domain experts, service providers and recipient communities to ensure equal participation from all stakeholders so as to add value across the board. We are driven by our passion to ensure inclusive and sustainable growth amongst communities by maximizing the social impact of corporate investment. Our projects, primarily focused on sustainable livelihood & vocational skills, environmental sustainability and healthcare, are designed and delivered with utmost transparency, speed and commitment.
Mon Ami Foundation has supported us to work on several projects with craftswomen working in embroidery in Kutch and with Madhubani artists.
Rangsutra is an artisan owned company with over two thousand co-owners. The artisan shareholders come from villages and small towns across the country — from Rajasthan, Uttar Pradesh, Kashmir and Manipur.
Like The Typecraft Initiative, Rangasutra supports the empowerment of craftswomen. The organization works as a bridge between rural artisans and global consumers in order to develop sustainable livelihoods and revive India’s rich craft heritage.
