Project Lakeer
Tons of paper is used and wasted on college campuses every day that needs to be recycled for a better tomorrow. In Project Lakeer, we make handcrafted diaries have been made using recycled paper collected from our university and homes.
These diaries are then designed by women from the ‘Slum Project’ at Full Life Children Home, Delhi. Under this project, women are trained with vocational and soft skills to enhance the economic opportunities available to them. In fact, the very basis of starting our project was to provide employment to underprivileged women. We believe that we have achieved initial success as the income has increased their family income by 70 percent.
What do we want?
