The artisans and craftsmen in India form the second largest work-force after Agriculture. And they are among the people worst affected due to unprecedented disruption in business and shortage of cash flows. The artisans are out of money and struggling for subsistence. They are in need of sustained assistance for subsistence.
‘Keep the Wheel Rolling’ is an initiative by House of Fanusta to provide sustainable livelihoods to artisans by creating new avenues for them. To cater to the need of the hour, we have diversified towards making Reusable Masks, Hand & Surface Sanitizers, and Tissues.
To extend your support, get a HSW (Health Safety Welfare) Kit which is essential for you and your family or buy functional handicrafts by local craftspeople. Even your small contribution can make a big difference in their lives. Every unit counts!
