One dream that uplifted a hundred others | Usha Varia | #SapnonKiUdaanPoorna
Usha’s story is one of humble beginnings. This daughter of a car mechanic from Bihar barely knew English when she stepped foot into the National Institute of Design. Today, she’s woven a name for herself as a textile designer of international acclaim and runs an NGO that empowers other women to weave happiness in their lives too. http://www.andpictures.in/promos/one-dream-uplifted-hundred-others-usha-varia-sapnonkiudaanpoorna
Craft, crochet and social change come together at Samoolam
Usha Prajapati often wakes up in the middle of the night to scribble in her diary. At Samoolam (Collective Roots), the NGO founded by her — to give creative and monitory support to over 200 underprivileged women — these scribbles become part of designs that find expression in crocheted jewellery and home décor. http://www.thehindu.com/life-and-style/craft-crochet-and-social-change-come-together-at-samoolam/article22242445.ece
Meet the Maker: Usha Prajapati, Samoolam, Gaya
Samoolam is a craft story that best narrates modern India with its deep rural roots. Here’s a quick chat with Usha Prajapati Founder & Design Head at Samoolam. Samoolam is not just an organization it’s a message to the youth of our country that “a hundred miles start with a small step”. And we all owe certain responsibility to pay back to our place and community where we belong. https://byhandfromtheheart.wordpress.com/2016/07/13/meet-the-maker-usha-parjapati-samoolam-gaya/...
