Hand-made jewels

What’s the project story?

Deepika, the outreach manager of Kaggalipura’s Nook, developed her own jewellery activity last year. She’s already sold more than 200 jewels in colleges, during events and also in the Nook itself.

How does she interact with the workshop?

Thanks to the Internet, she learnt different jewel fabrication techniques and used scrap materials to create her own jewels.

Now, she teaches in the Nook these techniques to 2 women from the village whom from time to time work also for her.

What’s next?

Deepika aims to grow her business by developing her online platform. Again thanks to the Nook and its Internet access, she can learn how to create it by herself. As Defy has no teacher, she has to search for solutions.

Her goal is to provide jobs for up to 10 women.
