Online Store Coming Soon!
In 2012, Profugo started a Tailoring Training Program within our Center of Development in Wayanad, India. It was a program designed to teach 5 women about the basics of tailoring. However, what developed from this program went far beyond technical skills. These women generated income that helped provide for their families. They became motivated, confident, and empowered. They became leaders in their community. They seized the opportunity and it changed their lives. As it turned out, they changed our lives as well. We were so inspired by this project that it got us thinking of other ways to expand the program. Thus, in September 2012, our Profugo Store has launched! Our Profugo Store is a collection of handcrafted products made from empowered women in India. But we don’t stop there! All the profits from our Profugo Store go back to fund community projects. Our goal is to share their story through their handicrafts. Every thread has a tale.
100% of the profits go towards community projects.
