In a strategic partnership with UNESCO, this project was launched as a comprehensive socio-economic development program for the artisans of Southern Punjab. Five specialized UNESCO-THAAP Craft Centers were established, including the Nadeem Handloom Center and the Sardar Wali Center, right in the hearts of the artisan communities. The project provided training to over 150 artisans, with a primary focus on women’s empowerment. By teaching design development, marketing strategies, and functional literacy, the initiative transformed traditional crafts like “Pit-loom” weaving and “Chunri” into sustainable micro-enterprises, significantly improving the livelihoods of the local community.
