LUSH BAZAAR

There are over 200 million illiterate women in India. These women are not able to work, and earn enough money to raise their families, or provide a stable environment for their children to grow up in. Causing a viciously cycle of poverty, illiteracy, and misery. Additionally, many women in Lancaster struggle to find good jobs that will support their families.

Providing the underprivileged women jobs in a stable environment. Giving them the opportunity to use their talents of sewing, embroidery work, marketing, and other talents they have to produce and sell beautiful, unique, and one of a kind accessories, and clothing to Lancaster, and surrounding areas.

I worked in the poverty stricken areas of India for over 5 years, working in an underprivileged school for children, in an orphanage, and in a leprosy colony. I connected with the mothers, and young women of the less fortunate communities, probably because they are such strong women, and so am I. During my free time I took fashion design courses, and have always had a passion for fashion, and upcoming trends. I know that with my background in the non-profit world, and my passion for fashion, I can combine the two to make something remarkable.
