Their enterprise

In addition to producing the 3 bags which, under the 'Cloth Bag' economic empowerment scheme, are already being sold locally, nationally, and internationally, some of the women included within the initiative have, of their own volition, started to expand the scope of the project by testing different designs of bag.

This demonstrates how the confidence, belief, enthusiasm, and aspirations for the project are all increasing in tandem with women’s technical skills.

This imaginative step taken by the women is likely to reap rewards because once these other designs are perfected, and added to the 'Baandhani collection', the women will be able to offer more options to the consumer.
