Himalayan Blooms

The goal of Himalayan Blooms is to uplift the community; empower women by providing new opportunities, provide the necessary tools and equipment to make marketable locally produced goods; help schools improve the quality of education, and assist farmers by installing groundwater charging wells. This community development project is intended to provide relief to the poor, distressed and underprivileged. This effort would also reduce the need for the relocation of people to already crowded urban areas, to seek employment.

Himalayan Blooms has made tremendous progress, having produced over 2,500 items in 2016 alone. Over fifty knitters have received the tools and training to produce new products. In the process, they have greatly improved their skill set to achieve the highest quality, while adopting and innovating new designs and patterns. The knitters are adopting new technology skills through the use of laptops and the internet to explore new designs, enter data, and record keeping. This has improved the moral amongst the women, uplifting their confidence and contributing to their household income.
