Anchal's holistic program is designed to address the diverse needs of each woman and equip them with the tools to sustain employment as an Anchal artisan and beyond. 85% of the Anchal's artisans joined the commercial sex trade due to a lack of alternative options. Marginalized from society, these women find themselves trapped in a vicious cycle.
Anchal offers design and skills training, full-time employment, educational workshops, health services, and a supportive community. Through their model, Anchal transforms the trajectory of entire families and helps to create widespread economic growth.
