About
In a small village in the district of Beawar, talented Artisans produce a
special vegetable tanned leather that is as eco-friendly as it is beautiful.
Today, their business is providing them with a stable livelihood–but their
situation was once very different. With no access to a growing marketplace,
opportunities were very limited for them. Then, they connected with Noonday’s
Artisan Business Partners, who sat with the villagers to understand their work
process and pain points.
The leader of the Artisans, a man named Chetan, helped the business
leaders understand the leather tanning process and began supplying them with
high-quality leather. And now, thanks to orders from Noonday customers, the
Artisans can feel secure in their livelihoods. Their children are attending
school regularly, and they have health insurance benefits that give them the
confidence that they can provide the best for their families.

Before he joined Noonday’s Artisan Business Partner as a leather cutter, Anil’s life was marked by insecurity and uncertainty. Because he was only able to find part-time work, he had no assurance that he would be able to afford his living expenses each month. After joining the workshop as an Artisan, however, Anil now enjoys a reliable, full-time job producing beautiful leather for Noonday. Finally, he has the security that comes with knowing that his needs will be provided for.
Maangi Lal
Before he began working as an Artisan, Maangi Lal never knew when his next paycheck would arrive, and his work hours were inconsistent and scarce. Now, he has a regular income that is allowing him to build a life that brings him joy. Maangi Lal has worked hard to become an expert leatherworker and enjoys sharing his expertise with the other members of the group. He has trained over a dozen young Artisans so far.
