Behind every handmade product is a woman’s skill, time and ambition. Through Nilam’s ethno-development work in India, women build on inherited knowledge and practical experience to develop products, strengthen their livelihoods and reach new customers.
The work includes embroidery, crochet, jute bags and coconut-shell charcoal production. Training and product development help connect these skills with the quality, presentation and consistency that customers expect.
Nilam Switzerland supports this journey by connecting community products with customers, online shops and retail opportunities in Switzerland and Europe.
Our contribution brings together product presentation, packaging, communication and market connections. Sharing customer feedback also helps makers develop their products and build confidence in their enterprises.
We want customers to choose these products for their quality and usefulness, while appreciating the people and knowledge behind them.
Discover the products, introduce Nilam to a shop or contribute your experience in design, photography, sales or digital communication. Each connection can help a women-led enterprise take its next step.
