Industree Foundation's Rope Maker Skill Training
About the Solution
This program by the Industree Foundation is designed to quickly impart a highly marketable skill by training individuals to produce durable rope from natural fibers like banana, sisal, and jute. Trainees learn the entire process, from preparing and twisting the raw fibers to operating and maintaining manual or mechanical rope-making machines. The curriculum emphasizes the production of strong, consistent rope that meets quality standards for agricultural and commercial use. By utilizing locally available, sustainable materials, the program creates a swift pathway to income generation and promotes small-scale enterprise development within rural communities.
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.
