Jaipur Rugs Foundation

About

Jaipur Rugs Foundation (JRF) is currently associated with over 40,000 artisans in 6 states of India. 80% of the artisans are women and live in underprivileged rural communities.

Our core focus at JRF is to provide skill-building and skill up-gradation training to those artisans who are associated with carpet weaving and thereby substantially increase their income. Since most artisans involved are women, increased income will make meaningful contributions to alleviating poverty. We facilitate income-generating opportunities at the doorsteps of artisans residing in the remotest of the locations and forward & backward linkages with the aid of our strategic partners.

We believe there are three necessities for anyone to live a decent life:

1. Access to a Sustainable Source of Income
We create & transform skills into a sustainable source of income by training low-income people in rural areas in different processes of making a rug & giving them access to manufacturing companies.

2. Access to Education & Health Services
We facilitate access to medical services by partnering with healthcare providers, and we develop alternative education programs for women & girls in artisans`​ communities.

3. Awareness of One's Rights
We create awareness of the regional or central governmental programs for people living in rural areas.

Mr. Nand Kishore Chaudhary, the founder, has a dream to empower the weaving community and improve the rural artisans`​ standard of living while developing human capabilities and skills at the grassroots level. Please visit http://www.nkchaudhary.com/ to know more about our founder.
