Live Indian Alpha Silver Necklace

Highlights

This Live Worldly artisan group, located in Jaipur, makes a variety of jewelry in the famous style of the "Pink City" known for its precious jewels and art. Due to the increasing rise of unemployment in India, the Foundation brings people from different areas of India to receive training and gives them the opportunity to become self sufficient. Through the proceeds of the jewelry business, the Foundation provides food, medicine, clothing, and shelter to its artisans. As an officially registered government organization, the Foundation works on the concept of sustainable development and uses only the finest quality of jewels of Rajasthan. Known as the City of Kings, Rajasthan is famous around the world for its precious stones, gold, and silver jewelry.

The employees are men and women that were living on the streets or have been victims of domestic violence. Some of the women are widowed and unable to maintain financial independence so these skills enable them to become self sufficient. The foundation has trained over 400 men and women to date with over 140 employees right now. The founder, Shailendra, was himself physically handicapped but has overcome many struggles through his education and hard work. After realizing that life is what you make of your destiny, Shailendra was inspired to support other unemployed men and women so that they too could become self-sufficient.

A portion of proceeds from this item is dedicated to Water For People, working to build a world where all people have access to safe drinking water and sanitation, and where no one suffers or dies from a water- or sanitation-related disease.
