Dear Friends,
Anhad started working in Purnia District in 2008 after the Kosi floods. After the initial relief work and livelihood support to over 150 families we set vocational training centres in 10 villages in Purnia and Araria.
Araria and Purnia are flood prone districts and some of the areas in these districts remain under water for a few months every year. In the process they lose seasoned crop, months of earning, large amount goes on restructuring of houses.
There is close to 80% migration in some of these areas. Villages are full of young women work force but in absence of opportunities, lack of exposure, rampant illiteracy, with no specific skill, unavailability of capital keeps them confined to their homes. The official figures for female literacy in Purina are 22.17% while in Araria it is 23.72%.
We gave training to 550 women in making jute products over a period of three years. Then Dhaani - a producer company was formed to market the products and provide livelihood to the women.
Dhaani is organizing its annual sale from March 23 to March 31st at C/5, Basement, Nizamuddin West, New Delhi-110013.
We request you to visit us and support this endeavor by buying Dhaani products, as well as by giving orders for Jute bags and folders for conferences and seminars which are planned for this year.
We are exhibiting products in our office which is not a gallery space but we are trying to do it in a way that all products can be seen conveniently.
Looking forward to your visit to Dhaani
Yours sincerely
Shabnam Hashmi
