The greatest good you can do for another is not just
share your riches, but to reveal to him his own.
― Benjamin Disraeli
A very simple idea of replacing plastic
bowls with bowls made from coconut shells
came up, which birthed Project Inara into
ideation in December 2019.
Since then, our product catalog has
been continually expanding including a
variety of items like intricately designed
lanterns, candles, bowls, and beautifully
hand-crafted
accessories.
Inara prevents innumerable coconut
shells from being thrown away while saving
the environment from plastics, toxins and
eventually promoting a zero-waste lifestyle.
Not only does this guarantee a greener
alternative to single-use plastics but also
serves as a good example for the future
generation to follow in the footsteps
towards sustainability.
Pooranya started out with a mission to
empower the financially struggling tailoring
community of Teynampet and Kolathur by
helping them make products that are not only
sustainable but also in trend and
affordable. Providing them with financial
help and employment amidst the pandemic
whilst contributing to the environment
positively by reducing the fabric scrap
discarded, by shaping them into wonderful
products like scrunchies, headbands, pillow
covers, doormats, etc.
For the last two years, Pooranya has
been continuously striving to bring smiles
to the lives of the workforce and their
families by sticking with them through thick
and thin.
Menstrual blood is the only source of blood that is not traumatically produced. Yet, in modern societies, this is the most hidden blood, the one so rarely spoken of, and almost never seen. Though it remains a monthly reality, women still face serious challenges when it comes to managing their periods. Myths, stigma, and harmful gender norms around menstruation exacerbate the difficulties for girls and women across the world. India still has a very long way to go before period-shame free societies come into actual existence. A commitment towards all the underprivileged women of the nation to win them their right to bleed freely and safely is what Project Naari is all about.
Project Malar is the realisation that flower pollution is often overlooked in our country. We came up with an idea to put these flowers to use and create something which praises the lord as well as the water bodies, an incense stick! The idea of the project is, from collecting flowers to making incense sticks to selling them, is carried out by women. Our project aims at providing them a chance to stand equal to their male counterparts. We at Project Malar are determined to bring this change and contribute to the society as well as the environment in every way we can.
