Hosa Belaku Artisans Foundation

About Hosa Belaku Artisans Foundation

Hosa Belaku means 'New Dawn' in Kannada. Since our inception in 2017, we have had but one mission - to usher in a new dawn of hope, dignity, and financial stability into the lives of the villagers of the remote villages of the Kanakpura Taluk of Karnataka. Socially and economically disadvantaged women, people with disabilities, and women supporting family members with disabilities have been our prime focus. We have managed to gainfully employ 22 such members and ensure them a steady, uninterrupted livelihood and hence a decent and dignified standard of living. We have currently three operational groups - Kirana, Deepa, and Ushe in the villages of Kadahalli, Halasuru, and Achalu that are trained in various vocational and artistic skills. From sewing, embroidery, crochet, macrame to dyeing, painting, block printing to papermaking and paper weaving and jewelry making, these artisans have been mastering various artistic skills and producing some of the finest handmade artifacts.
