Employment for 40 poor women in door mat weaving

Organization information

VILLAGE DEVELOPMENT CENTRE

Location: TIRUCHIRAPPALLI, India

Summary

VDC aims to promote training and employment for 40 dalit and poor women in door mat production by using waste cotton from textile companies. The beneficiaries will be given 10 days training in entire activities such as assembling, detachment, attend minor repairs, shaping the waste cotton, weaving, designing, price fixing, purchase and sale points and market linkages. This helps women to earn average Rupees 160 per day. Recycling cotton waste into door mats will help to prevent pollution. Important Notice about Projects in India: We expect that there will be significant delays in getting funds to this project due to new regulatory requirements that impact GlobalGiving's ability to disburse to Indian-banked organizations. GlobalGiving is working hard to address the issue, but there is a chance that we will be unable to disburse funds to this project. If we cannot disburse funds, donations to this project may be reallocated to another organization per our terms and conditions.
