Fairtrade Umbrella - come rain or shine!
Our sturdy umbrellas/parasols are made by women in the Kudumbashree Scheme 'Maari' - a social enterprise to support rural women in Kerala.
|
Kudumbashree was launched by the Government of India in 1998 for wiping out absolute poverty from the state through concerted community action under the leadership of local self-governments. Kudumbashree is today one of the largest women-empowering projects in the country.
Its products do not have official fair-trade certification, but the production unit employs women living below the poverty line and the group leans heavily towards natural production and ensures that the workers are provided fair wages and good working conditions.
