Mahaguthi, Craft With A Conscience
In 1925 a follower of Mahatma Gandhi had a dream of starting an ashram, or spiritual community, where women "refugees" (widowed or deserted by their husbands) could come with their children and find a safe haven. The ashram he founded continues to provide shelter, food, clothing, medical care, education, and vocational training in weaving and tailoring for the women and their children. Today, proceeds from the sales of handcrafts made by nearly 80 producer groups affiliated with the non-profit Gandhi Charitable Trust and its Mahaguthi shops in Kathmandu help support the women and children who live at the ashram and also provide support services to the producer groups.
