Tisser Artisans Trust works to empower artisans, especially women and persons with disabilities, across India. We preserve traditional crafts while creating sustainable livelihoods through skill development, design innovation, and market access.
Through our Craft Resource Centers (CRCs), artisans receive vocational training, digital literacy, and support to sell their products nationally and globally. Initiatives like upcycling campaigns, artisan certification programs, and collaborations with brands and events provide them with new skills, income, and independence.
Every contribution helps us reach over 10,000 artisans annually, fostering economic empowerment, social inclusion, and the revival of India’s rich craft heritage. By supporting Tisser, you are directly enabling artisans to transform their lives, sustain their traditions, and build brighter futures.
