The Om Foundation · Since 2012
Educating the daughter was only the first stitch.
Fourteen years ago, The Om Foundation opened a classroom for two girls in Delhi. When our students graduated and their families needed independent livelihoods, Dhaaga was born. Every piece is handmade by women earning a dignified, self-reliant living.
