Capacity Building Areas

WIT's core activities are providing education, vocational training and employment opportunities for the less privileged women both in the rural and the urban areas. The women are employed in various departments either on full employment, as the case may be or on wages . When on wages the women are paid per piece and majority of the work force are on wages. These women are home based workers.

The women find employment opportunities in Toy Making, Screen Printing, Block Printing, Tie and Dye and Tailoring. The Food Production unit employees only full time staff as we have to adhere HACCP and the CGMP international guidelines.

The women produce the following :

Food Products : jams, jellies, marmalades, chutney, pickle and squash. all these items are made from fresh fruits only. we DO NOT  add artificial colors or flavors. 

Home Furnishing : bed spreads, cotton rugs, cushion covers, curtains, table cloth, table mats, napkins, tea cosy, runners, aprons, duffle bags

Garments : jackets (waist coat style), scarves, dupptas, kimonos, tops and pants, night gowns, printed fabric.

Paper products : personalized greeting cards, writing paper, envelopes, gift bags of various sizes, wrapping paper, gift envelopes, gift tags.

All items are made in natural fiber which either hand screen or blocks printed, embroidered or have appliqué work. We also offer the options of customizing a product, choice of print and colors for our clients.

Capacity Building Needs :

Assistant Manager Sales

To meet the objective of the Trust, WIT needs to ensure that the women have constant work through the year and that many more needy women find employment opportunities. The above mentioned products definitely need to be marketed in a professional manners to reap results .This therefore means that, WIT needs to ensure that the all the products made by the women are marketed in an organized manner.

So far WIT has managed to promote sales with the goodwill of volunteers and Friends of WIT. But with the current market situation and the high competition, WIT needs to employee professional sales personnel to ensure that the products are marketed in an organized manner.

Rs. 1.2 Lakhs per year
