In India’s economy, handmade products represent a significant element of the unorganized sector. These typically necessitate manual skills and symbolize Indian tradition in some way. However, on the ground, these artisans in the making confront obstacles such as a lack of funding, limited technological penetration, a lack of market data, and a weak institutional framework to sell out their handmade products at the initial stage. To address these challenges and to encourage the talent of local artisans, Amal Foundations India has come up with the launch of Amal Foundations – NGO Bazaar with tons of solutions for those who are working with NGOs, SHGs and small communities.

Amal Foundations – NGO Bazaar encourages the NGOs that are training unskilled people from underprivileged background into skilled artisans and expanding their producer base. Also, these trained people will be able to further impart their skills to several other newbies where other artisans can also gain momentum with their skills and talent. Amal Foundations India bridges the gap and provides an online sales platform for these NGOs. These NGOs keep mentoring and providing digital literacy to these folks hence enhance their skills to generate income on a long-term basis. Amal Foundations – NGO Bazaar is highly focused on supporting the grassroots level NGOs who do not get enough funding to promote themselves at a big level.

To give them an identity in the society, Amal Foundations – NGO Bazaar empowers grassroots to bring openness and accountability to the development sector at the grassroots level, as well as to strengthen the bottom of the socioeconomic pyramid. This platform also encourages design sensitization, product development, skill development, etc.. of the artisans. Also significantly support the environment by promoting a reduction in wastage of raw material and increased usage of recycled materials. With eco-friendly sustainable development, Amal Foundations – NGO Bazaar also leads to the recognition of traditional art & craft at various platforms across India and abroad, livelihood improvement, sustainable income generation, women empowerment, discrimination and elevating the economic & social status of various artisans and artists. Our goal is to positively impact the budding artisans and skilled labour to provide them with gainful & continuous employment. Our only goal is to transform lives positively.

We have seen more and more grassroots NGOs adopting better business practices. So, in conclusion, we wish to support the grassroots initiative that contributes to poverty reduction, providing food security, ensuring healthy lives, promoting wellbeing for all, ensuring equitable quality education, gender equality and empowering women. Our motive is to support millions of communities, local groups and grassroots NGOs throughout the year. Let’s come up together by creating positive changes in the lives of underprivileged children, their families and communities by shopping from Amal Foundations – NGO Bazaar!
