We enable the illiterate poor to start spin the fibers to yarns and weave those yarns not just fabrics but also their own lives.

Handloom Weavers (Artisan) Cards

The Handloom Weavers Cards are issued to the artisans by Development Commissioner Handloom, Ministry of Textiles and the local nodal entities are District Industries Center. But due to lack of awareness and low levels of accessibility, the artisans are unable to get their cards made. Latifi Silk Exports LLP acts as a link and bridges this gap by assisting the illiterate artisans in getting their card by doing all the paper work involved in the process.
