# Celebrating Women's Day with a Purpose: Our CSR collaboration with the MITU Foundation (Multiple Initiatives Towards Upliftment)
As we celebrate International Women's Day, we're excited to share our latest corporate social responsibility (CSR) initiative supporting the MITU Foundation. This collaboration not only aligns with our values but also empowers the disadvantaged sections of society, particularly women and girls in Karnataka, India.
### Understanding the MITU Foundation
The MITU Foundation is committed to supporting and uplifting disadvantaged girls and women through various initiatives, focusing on menstrual hygiene, skill development, and up-cycling. Over the past 11 years, MITU has made a significant impact, reaching over 35,000 girls and women across more than 100 villages. Their efforts give these women the opportunity to embrace their poise, confidence, and dignity, transforming their lives and communities.
### Handmade Potlis: A Blend of Art and Sustainability
We are thrilled to announce our collaboration with MITU to bring you exquisite handmade potlis created from up-cycled materials, particularly old saris. This initiative not only showcases the incredible craftsmanship of these women but also champions an environmentally conscious approach to fashion. By using fabric that would otherwise contribute to the staggering statistic that around 85% of textiles produced end up in landfills in the United States alone, we are promoting a circular economy model.
In today’s world, where fast fashion promotes a “throwaway” culture, it's more important than ever to support sustainable practices. Up-cycling serves as an ideal solution, allowing us to repurpose materials creatively while reducing fabric waste and minimizing our carbon footprint.
### A Gesture of Appreciation
As a token of our appreciation for your continued support, we are delighted to offer these lovely potlis as a complimentary gift for any orders above ₹5,000. Each potli is crafted with care, embodying both beauty and purpose. Additionally, for those interested in acquiring these handcrafted items separately, we invite you to reach out to us via email or Whats App. Please note that these potlis are made to order, ensuring that each piece is uniquely crafted just for you. Moreover, a portion of the proceeds will be donated to the MITU Foundation, amplifying the positive impact of your purchase.
### Empowering Women This Women's Day
On this Women’s Day, we are proud to be part of a movement that champions women’s empowerment and resilience. By supporting MITU, we are not just providing beautiful accessories but are also contributing to a cause that significantly uplifts the lives of many. Together, we can help build a world where every woman has access to the resources and opportunities she deserves.
### Join Us in Making a Difference
As we take part in this meaningful initiative, we encourage you to join us in celebrating the incredible contributions of women everywhere. Let's take a moment to recognize and appreciate their strength, creativity, and invaluable presence in our lives.
Wishing you all a Happy Women's Day! Together, let’s uplift and empower women, today and every day. For any inquiries or to place an order for the handmade potlis, please contact us through the provided email or Whats App number. Thank you for joining us in making a difference!
