Industree Crafts Foundation

About Industree Crafts Foundation

Established in 2000, Industree Foundation (IF) holistically tackles the root causes of poverty by creating an ownership-based and organized creative manufacturing ecosystem for micro-entrepreneurs. IF's comprehensive approach helps communities assess their traditional skill base, organize them into production units, develop products that appeal to modern markets, and create consistent demand to create sustainable businesses at the lowest possible costs. Our approach has tripled the incomes of artisans in non-farming occupations by leveraging their artisanal skills and integrating them into the creative industries sector. Industree Foundation believes that if the poor have access to sustained and consistent demand for products & services and are provided with an enabling ecosystem, they can integrate into the formal economy and lift themselves out of poverty. IF has reached 30,000 women artisans across India and Africa, through collaborative efforts with different organizations.
