From a small beginning to wider reach
Jeena began the work on a small scale. Over time, the scope of the activity increased, and products made by the group are now reaching different parts of the country.
The work has helped Jeena build her own identity while connecting other women with employment. Their products combine familiar festival decoration with an effort to promote eco-friendly alternatives.
