Kamala – is the mother of two school-aged children. She lives with her husband and children. Kamala loves to learn new skills. She has dedicated herself to her family but, as they get older, she desires to challenge herself and help others. Kamala is extremely proud of her workmanship, she started as a piece rate worker with the Handicraft group, and within one year she became the overall Program Manager. She also leads our Education & Empowerment sessions.

Sita –  lives in her room with her two small sons . Her husband works overseas and she only sees him every 2 years, so she is looking after her children on her own. Sita is happy all day long and smiles away as she works. She is a keen sewer but she sparkles when making our crochet dolls come alive. She is a full time piece rate worker with the Kriayt Handicraft group keeping us stocked with her beautiful dolls.

Chandrakala – is married with a small daughter. She attended sewing classes at our training centre and showed great potential. Chandrakala was the first woman to complete our job training course. She learnt sewing skills, product design and small business skills. Chandrakala was the leader to start and continue with ‘Mimi &Narni’ a range of Children’s & Women’s clothing. She works fulltime with sewing piece rates and is trained in Peddle and electric sewing machines. In 2015 she became the Sewing Manager with our sewing handicraft group.

Bandana – is a mother with a young son and lives with her husband and his family. She has her bachelor’s in primary school teaching. Currently she is working with the production team producing crocheted animals for sale, as the profits from these animals are dedicated to our early childhood development centre. The more products we sell the closer we become to opening our centre where we will value the experience Bandana holds in teaching. Bandana is a leader in our Kriayt Sister program guiding International guests with our interactive tours.
