For 30 years, Saidpur has provided fair employment opportunities and business training to over 1500 artisans. Saidpur supports mostly women who are heads of household and/or widows by paying them fairly and on time, and by building their capabilities through workshops and on-the-job-training. Saidpur believes that if women are empowered, the community as a whole will be transformed. Their fair-trade bags are made using locally-sourced natural materials such as eco-friendly jute and recycled materials like second-hand saris. As a certified member of the World Fair Trade Organization (WFTO), Saidpur provides work to marginalized women with full transparency to both partners and artisans.
