Industree Crafts Foundation

Industree is dedicated to providing rural livelihoods by producing and distributing a wide-range of home dédécor and office accessories, furniture, furnishing, packaged food and apparel that is handcrafted by rural artisans.

Industree Crafts Foundation (ICF) the non-profit wing and works on building up the production base, enabling artisans to become owners of their enterprises. Industree Crafts Private Limited (ICPL) is the 'for profit' design, distribution, retail and export wing. The two collaborate to make Industree commercially viable, self-sustainable and market oriented to ensure the success of their social mission of providing market for traditional crafts and supporting livelihoods. ICF is now exploring building livelihood for artisans based on micro-finance institutions, which would assist groups of artisans with micro loans to be used as capital for production of goods that Industree will market.

ICF is involved in advocacy with the Government and does significant work with Non Government Organisations. ICF is also currently working on the formation of a Global Natural Fibre Producers Federation.
