OUR FACTORY
To start Ekmattra Handicraft factory, we recruited women who wanted to work in this area.
Out of the 50 women who gathered, eight were selected through a rigorous interview process and workshop.
We interviewed several women whose husband had married another person leading them to carry their own children alone with no source of income, and some even have suffered from domestic violence....
We encountered many women with the same problems and pasts.
We then visited homes and conducted surveys, focusing first on the poorest families, who had no work or income at all.
We wanted to focus on the poorest, because our primary goal is to help women who have less opportunities than others to escape their difficult circumstances, and to take back their lives by their own hands.
We then selected women who were recognized during the workshops for their drive and passion towards their work, and these women eventually became our members.
