Being compassionate and mindful of everything that I am doing everyday and put this state of awareness into action for the co-creation of the world without poverty and inequality.

The project aims at creating community capital and it is envisioned through working on social and economic aspects by creating a social platform to organize women with a purpose of self-employment based on traditional skills of Bamboo crafting. It will also create a diverse portfolio of Bamboo products and provide market through e-commerce for finished products. The project is visualized as a small beginning to change existing social order by empowering women to see their self-­growth by building upon traditional entrepreneurial skills with the help of different groups and experts from different fields for co-­creation of solutions to their existing problems.
