Himadri Hans

“Himadri-Hans Handloom” (HHH) was started in 2017 and is a noble initiative of The Hans Foundation, a non-profit organisation working in collaboration with the Government of Uttarakhand. The objective is to revive and make Uttarakhand’s handloom and handcrafted textiles accessible to global markets and impact the lives of 5000 women weavers of Uttarakhand. Technical and design skills are imparted to rural women and artisans of Kumaon to enhance their indigenous capabilities to create local craft products that match the needs and aspirations of the new-age consumer. Since 2003, the foundation has supported community development in India by working with over 200 women weavers bringing about social reformation in some of the remotest parts of the Himalayas.
