Manushi is a Fair Trade Guaranteed Organization that follows a social business platform grounded with the objectives of improving the socio and economic conditions of low income people, especially women through Fair Trade.

While focusing on women’s economic empowerment we have spent considerable effort in making successful results.

With the underlying mission of empowering marginalized women in Nepal to raise their social and economic status, Manushi started with a focus on providing women with handicraft skill development through workshops and training. However, due to common issues such as illiteracy and lack of income, it became clear that the women were unable to effectively utilize these skills to run and grow a business. In 1993, Manushi started its own production program to address this issue and provide women with opportunities to gain skills and employment. Tie and dye became the signature product and as Manushi learned to navigate the market, many of the board members used their own personal income to ensure a fair wage to the 12 – 15 in-house producers Manushi had at the time. In time, Manushi’s production program grew and became self-sustainable, allowing the organization to expand its scope of support to include a micro-credit program, the development and fostering of national and global partnerships and other community-based programs for girls and women.

 Manushi’s handmade productions are based on local skill, resources and manpower. Our products are unique, qualified for international market. Europe, USA and East Asia are our destinations. Felt, Cotton, Hand Woven Fabrics, Dress, Home textiles, accessories, metal craft, fashion jewelry are the best products of Manushi.
