Self-sufficiency

Our metal Fabrication industry came to rise when the waste Oil TIN cans were re-used and re-molded into kitchen utensils like strainers and spice boxes. The Carpet manufacturing unit was introduced to make rugs and carpets as floor coverings for the residents to sleep on. Hand crafted greeting cards section was started as a means of communication with our friends, supporters and well-wishers. Footwear was made for our leprosy patients by reusing aircraft tires because of their protective nature. Introduction of powerloom helped meet the demand of the bandages needed in our hospitals.

We have treated the mental leprosy by showcasing that leprosy affected people are not just important elements to our society but are now socially independent and have gone to create a benchmark for self-sustaining villages. Yesterday’s liabilities have thus become todays assets not just for Anandwan but for the entire world!
