Jaipur Rugs Foundation

Jaipur Rugs Foundation's initiatives encompass entrepreneurship and skill development programmes aimed at uplifting underprivileged communities, particularly women, through rug weaving. Collaborations with organisations like the Royal Rajasthan Foundation, Corporate Rebel Foundation, HCL Foundation, HSBC, and SIDBI have led to various skill development projects, offering sustainable livelihood opportunities to women in regions such as Uttar Pradesh and Rajasthan. Additionally, the Foundation extends its impact to unexpected places, running the Jail Project, which teaches rug weaving to inmates serving long sentences, providing them with a means of supporting their families. These programmes not only impart rug weaving skills but also instil confidence, educate artisans about the carpet supply chain, and promote grassroots leadership development, ultimately empowering individuals to be self-reliant entrepreneurs in rural India.

Jaipur Rugs Foundation extends support beyond income to focus on holistic development. They host health camps, eye check-ups, and provide medical services, prioritizing artisans' well-being. Hygiene and sanitation awareness is promoted. Simplifying financial access empowers informed decisions. Collaboration with organizations aids education, women's empowerment, and skill-building, fostering social development. They offer Health Cards, reusable menstrual pads, and eye camps. Their holistic approach uplifts individuals and communities for a brighter future. In education, they empower women through an Alternative Education Program, while their menstrual health initiative promotes sustainability. The Hunarshala initiative encourages innovation among rural children. They educate communities on government welfare programs to ensure rightful benefits.
