Heeya

Heeya is a social enterprise that currently works with 100 women artisans in the Kamrup District and about 50 women in Jorhat district of Assam. The organisation works towards the revival of rare craft traditions that are on the verge of extinction through design intervention using traditional motifs, colours, and patterns reinventing them in the global context.

Heeya has worked to create a cluster of handloom production mostly with cotton and Eri silk sarees in the Kamrup and Jorhat districts through infrastructure improvement, skill development and mentoring. In the process, women weavers have built new skills, have access to a new market and have improved their income generation.
