The Challenge
In rural India, the potential for creative entrepreneurship is constrained by limited access to specialized vocational training. Women and girls, in particular, face barriers to economic empowerment, and the preservation of traditional crafts is at risk.
The Solution
The Desai Foundation’s integrated Candle, Diya & Chocolate Making Training program addresses this challenge comprehensively. For candle and diya making, participants receive training in both traditional craft skills and modern entrepreneurship. Simultaneously, the Chocolate Making Training program targets the absence of culinary arts training in rural areas, providing a curriculum that covers chocolate-making techniques alongside essential business management and marketing skills.
The Lasting Impact
The combined program aims to create a significant impact by fostering self-reliance and economic independence among participants. By empowering women, girls, and individuals in rural communities with both craft and entrepreneurial skills, the initiative not only contributes to economic development but also plays a crucial role in preserving traditional crafts and promoting excellence in culinary arts. The skills acquired ensure the longevity and relevance of these cultural arts in the modern marketplace.
