K2Crafts is the online marketplace for the Cottage
Industry-Global Market
(CIGM) project. The project works with women¹s craft cooperatives
in the
Kangra District of Himachal Pradesh, India to support capacity
building and
local development. This team effort involves students and faculty
from the
Communication, Culture & Technology (CCT) program at Georgetown
University,
local non-governmental organizations (NGOs), and government
officials.
K2Crafts shawls are hand-woven and of the highest quality. The
shawls come
in a variety of colors, including natural vegetable dyes, and
intricate
designs. The cooperative women weave wool and angora shawls
and scarves,
inspired by the rich history of artisans in this region of India.
By
purchasing a K2Crafts shawl, you would be encouraging the entrepreneurial
spirit of the artisans, providing opportunities for them to
acquire
important skills and to improve their standard of living.
