Bamboo Silver & Basket Maker Skill Training by the Industree Foundation
About the Solution
This comprehensive, two-module program by the Industree Foundation transforms participants into skilled artisans in the bamboo handicrafts sector. The first module covers the selection and processing of raw bamboo into fine, pliable slivers. The second module builds on this, training individuals in the intricate art of weaving these slivers into strong, durable, and market-ready baskets. By mastering the entire value chain from raw material to finished product, the program empowers individuals with a sustainable and income-generating skill set, fostering both economic independence and the preservation of traditional craftsmanship.
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.
