Kumudini Welfare Trust

KUMUDINI WELFARE TRUST is a non-profit organization focusing on the needs of women and the poor in Bangladesh. The 750-bed Kumudini Hospital offers free treatment to the poor from all over the country; Kumudini Hospital School trains 250 nurses a year; Bharateswari Homes, a residential school, offers elementary and secondary education to over 1200 girls; and Kumudini Handcrafts helps over 5,000 artisans, mostly women, generate income by providing training and encouraging the development and preservation of traditional handcraft skills. Kumudini operates its own vegetable dyeing plant using leaves, petals, bark, and roots and has also developed a handmade paper line using the pesky water hyacinth plant.

“The artisans in our organization earn three times more than the minimum wage. This means that they have a better quality of life for themselves and their families.” - Manuel Alvarez - UPA, Mexico.
