Tisser Artisans Trust is a social impact organization deeply committed to promoting handmade crafts, preserving traditional art forms, and building a sustainable value chain. Rooted in the ethos of “Vocal for Local,” Tisser strongly advocates for women empowerment and rural entrepreneurship, aiming to bring meaningful change to communities across India.
With over nine years of dedicated work, Tisser has been actively reviving India’s rich artistic heritage by producing handcrafted fashion and lifestyle products. The organization empowers local artisans by offering them platforms to showcase their talent while helping to preserve centuries-old techniques and cultural narratives.
At the heart of Tisser’s mission is the goal of generating sustainable livelihoods for rural artisans across India, ultimately contributing to the elimination of poverty. By reviving the handicraft industry and restoring dignity to traditional forms of work, the organization has impacted thousands. Tisser has trained and connected over 10,000 artisans, producer groups, and self-help groups (SHGs) across South Asia, creating a widespread network of skilled craftspersons.
Our products are crafted using eco-friendly materials such as clay, glass, fabric, bamboo, and paper. We place a high priority on quality, ensuring that every item is not only beautifully designed but also durable, user-friendly, and free from harmful chemicals. Sustainability and safety remain at the core of our product development process.
Tisser’s primary areas of intervention include cluster development, WISE (Women Incubation, Skilling & Entrepreneurship), digital literacy initiatives, and the Waste to Wealth program. Through these programs, we equip women and artisans with the skills and resources necessary to build self-reliant and thriving livelihoods.
Looking ahead, Tisser envisions expanding its reach by integrating more innovative, tech-enabled solutions to enhance market access for artisans. By building stronger digital infrastructure and partnerships, the organization aims to amplify its impact, ensuring that the voices of rural craftsmen and women are heard loud and clear in both domestic and global markets.
