With the looms located inside the artisans homes, this project gives increased opportunity to women. Women can work on the looms around their other household chores, like caring for children, preparing meals and tending their home.

In the villages, there is very little opportunity for employment, especially for women. Work on the looms gives women year-round stable employment that they have control over. With this income, women are finding increased financial independence and can financially contribute to the success of their family. They are able to send their children to school and plan for the future. Having a wage-earning skill gives these women a sense of pride as well as an avenue to true social change for themselves and their family.
