Some of Calcutta Rescue’s patients and ex-schoolchildren struggle to make a living due to disability, illiteracy, or lack of skills and confidence.
Calcutta Rescue’s Fairtrade handicraft project provides employment for these people, supporting beneficiaries to learn skills and sell their handiwork through the Calcutta Rescue Shop. This helps them to earn the money they need to support themselves and their families and the dignity that comes with work.
