In the misty valleys and peaks of the blue mountains, women from rural and indigenous communities come together after their daily chores. They pick up yarn or linen and with internationally valued crafts like crochet, embroidery and macrame, they make their path to economic stability. A path aided by Indian Yards Foundation.

Indian Yards Foundation is a not-for-profit enterprise that aims to enable women from rural & indigenous communities achieve dignified livelihoods, without disrupting the needs and patterns of their traditional ways of life. We upskill them into first-generation artisans and subsequently enable them with resources to create high-quality children, lifestyle and home & living products. With each completed project, they earn a fair wage that they can apply to improve their life and savings.

In 2018, Sunita and Suhas started a life off-the-grid and among the wild, away from the city and corporate structures. As they embraced the community, they noticed the communities struggle with unstable livelihoods. Their efforts towards finding a sustainable solution to this problem gave birth to Indian Yards Foundation. It is a foundation and the start of a social enterprise ecosystem that empowers these communities towards socio-economic well-being with craft and commerce as means.
