    Description

    Hi, I'm Meera, a mother of two and the founder of a women-led social project based in Delhi, India. Our mission is to empower housewives and underprivileged women by transforming textile waste into beautiful, useful products while creating sustainable livelihoods.

    We upcycle old saris and other fabrics into clothing, bags, home décor, accessories, and more. Along with providing materials and skills training, we also conduct workshops on health, financial independence, and government welfare schemes to help women build confidence and marketable skills.

    Our work supports five UN Sustainable Development Goals:

    Gender Equality
    No Poverty
    Zero Hunger
    Quality Education
    Climate Action

    I also work on environmental awareness programs with the Municipal Corporation of Delhi, promoting waste segregation, recycling, and reducing single-use plastics. Volunteers can also participate in these community awareness activities.

    I enjoy gardening, living an environmentally friendly lifestyle, and sharing Indian culture. My family is vegetarian, and I previously worked at a yoga institute in Rishikesh.

    If you are passionate about sustainability, women’s empowerment, education, or community development, I would love to welcome you. Whether you can help with social media, photography, marketing, product design, fundraising, workshops, or simply share your ideas and skills, your contribution can make a real difference in the lives of our women.
    I want to invite ---
    students who want to create a fashion collection
    graduates launching a small business
    designers looking for ethical production
    handmade brands
    sustainable businesses
    boutique owners
    gift shops
    museum shops
    fair trade organizations

    I look forward to meeting people from around the world who want to learn, share, and create positive change together.
