"My company always prioritised women from uneducated, unskillful and lower caste backgrounds. Giving them employment to enable them to be financially independent and the ability to better support their families. I ensure there is enough work for them on a daily basis so they maintain a steady stream of income. However they have a flexible schedule. After hiring, I provided free training to each employee and then work". 

We were lucky enough to be introduced to our Nepalese partner Bishwas through a mutual friend here in Aotearoa. The inspiring Bishwas is a man with a mission to provide training and work for Nepalese Woman in small villages, who otherwise would not have access to a living wage income. Bishwas works hard to provide woman living remotely and in his village with work that fits into their lifestyle, prioritising culture and tradition before work and profit. Bishwas provides his workers with training first, and then sewing and felting work. All of our throws, hemp products, and NZ wool items are made by these talented artisans.
