Established
in 1978, Aarong is a fair trade organisation dedicated
to
bring about positive changes in the lives of
disadvantaged artisans
and underprivileged rural women by reviving and
promoting their
skills and craft. Reaching out to weavers, potters,
brass workers,
jewellers, jute workers, basket weavers, wood carvers,
leather
workers and more, Aarong embraces and nurtures a diverse
representation
of 65,000 artisans, 85% of whom are women. Today, Aarong has
become the foundation upon which independent cooperative groups and
family-based artisans market their craft, in an effort to position the
nation’s handicraft industry on a world platform of appreciation and
acknowledgement.
