Jyoti - Fair Works

Jyoti – Fair Works is a social entreprise empowering women in India through the production of fair clothing. We train women in India in our own sewing facilities and offer them a permanent position and fair wage. The items produced in these facilities are sold in Europe. The earnings enable the funding of literacy and education programs with emphasis on labor and women's rights.

Our goal is to enable these women to lead a self-determined life. Together we develop individual projects that deal with finding future permanent and self-employment opportunities, where they can apply their newly acquired skills. The creation of this sustainable cycle enables us to reach out to even more women.

Together with the fashion designer Sarah we have designed a new summer collection that we want to produce on-site in India. To us it deeply matters that you assist our working processes and attend through our step by step documentation the finalization of an article of clothing. Our campaign is your campaign, so come along and be part of the story!
