ROOTS
This Dharti belongs to Dhasa, a village nestled in the interiors of Saurashtra, a vibrant and promising region in the State of Gujarat in India.
It is a land of rich soil, yielding a variety of spices and the home of hidden Arts and Crafts.
The women and girls of Dhasa are a multi-talented, hardworking and earnest lot who create and prepare products from this very realm, to profit, support and better their village ecosystem.
CORE
Their efforts are motivated by the desire and need to bring prosperity and progress to their community and surroundings.
When the women and girls of a region are encouraged to contribute to their communities and in doing so, earn their own livelihoods, a very true and complete advancement occurs.
At the core of it, Dharti aims to empower and uplift the women and girls that take heart in helping themselves and their homeland.
DHARTI - A PLACE AND A PLATFORM
Dharti endeavours to empower the women and girls of Dhasa by providing them with a platform and a marketplace where their creations and preparations may be bought to benefit their livelihoods and better their overall community.
the women
