Craft Resource Center
Mentoring Artisans Of India
In Their Own Words
Country: India
Year Founded: 1990
Who do they help? CRC has worked with 63 different artisan groups whose work can be categorized under three broad headings: Fashion Accessories, Home Accessories, Gifts and Decorative Items.
How do they help? While its specific role is that of a mentor for both craftspeople and communities to sustainably access global markets, its reformist role encompasses the creative community’s natural and socio-economic worlds. It opens up horizons by introducing craftspersons to new designs, products and global markets. It backs their micro-enterprises with finances, logistics, production and supply chain management and also improves quality of human resources.
