Nangi Village - A successful small enterprise which generates income through traditional artistic skills. . . Income that sustains a number of women's families, as well as contributes to the local school of Nangi village..... I have a lot of faith in this school. It is supported by Himanchal Education foundation. - http://www.himanchal.org/ which have tremendously sustainable ideas. Where internet access is their main success.
The hand made journals in this village have come from the abundance of Lokta tree which is located in the jungle on our doorstep. Resources are naturally regenerated, organic, and totally sustainable.
Production of the paper and books is very casual. If women chose to come and work, we welcome them, and they receive a daily wage. We also think it is pretty important that their home environment is not jeopardized. Collecting grasses for animals and general farm maintainability takes up a significant chunk of their day.
One thing to consider here would be to decrease the home labor by producing better grasses and researching some relevant environmental changes.
