CRAFTING FUTURE, ONE WOMAN AT A TIME!
OUR MISSION
At ToteAvakasham, we are deeply committed to creating sustainable and meaningful employment opportunities for women who are homebound especially mothers of children with severe disabilities and other marginalized women including tribal women, school dropouts and women with disabilities in Wayanad.
Each product we offer is a reflection of their remarkable craftsmanship, resilience and dedication. Through this initiative, we not only foster self-reliance but also strive to create a supportive community that celebrates the strength and creativity of these women. By choosing our products, customers become partners in this journey of empowerment, contributing to a positive and lasting social impact.
OUR VISION
We recognize the unique challenges these women in Wayanad face and aim to empower them by providing access to essential skills training, resources and mentorship. We believe that financial empowerment can truly be a catalyst for greater social impact and change in their personal and public life.
Our vision therefore is to enable these women to achieve that financial independence and personal fulfillment by working from the comfort of their homes, allowing them to balance their caregiving responsibilities and professional growth.
We are committed to empowering individuals by leveraging our theoretical expertise to develop sustainable solutions while creating a viable market for the handcrafted products they produce at home. Through this approach we aim to foster economic opportunities to drive meaningful long-term impact.
