Tara Projects has been making a meaningful impact for Artisans in India since the 1970s. Tara was founded with the aim of creating avenues of economic growth for economically disadvantaged Artisans in Delhi and its surrounding areas. Today, the organization has extended its community-changing activities to neighboring states, too. Since its inception, Tara has actively worked to provide needed support services to Artisans based on the principles of fair trade. They also focus on advocating for the dignity of all people through human rights work and education opportunities. Tara is a powerful force for good in India, working toward eradicating poverty by fighting against worker exploitation and illiteracy. “Make Trade Fair” is the motto Tara lives by, and they continue to lead the way in this beautiful endeavor.
