Industree Foundation's Handmade Crochet Lace Maker Skill Training
About the Solution
This program by Industree Foundation professionalizes the traditional art of crochet, transforming it into a viable micro-enterprise for rural women. It provides rigorous training in interpreting complex designs, selecting appropriate yarns, and executing a wide array of stitches to create high-quality lace for apparel, accessories, and home furnishings. The curriculum goes beyond technique to instill principles of production efficiency, consistent quality control, and workflow management. This holistic approach ensures artisans can produce commercially viable products that meet specific market specifications, effectively turning a traditional skill into a sustainable and profitable business venture.
The Industree Foundation, founded in 2000 and headquartered in Bengaluru, Karnataka, has been working for over two decades to build an organized farm and off-farm enterprise ecosystem that empowers women economically in India and Ethiopia. Through its ecosystem approach, Industree addresses the root causes of poverty by supporting rural women from marginalized communities to establish collectively owned, market-linked enterprises. This model has delivered significant social and economic benefits—boosting incomes, strengthening social security, enhancing resilience to crises, and contributing to positive climate action.
