Meet Our Artisans

Voices of Strength, Hands of Hope

At Pahel, our artisans are not just participants in a program—they are creators, learners, and changemakers on a journey of healing and self-reliance. Each product crafted through our initiative carries the story of someone who has overcome immense challenges and is now reclaiming their life with courage and creativity.

Our artisans include individuals recovering from mental illness—many of whom have faced homelessness, abandonment, or long-term isolation. Through vocational training, psychosocial support, and community engagement, they are rebuilding their lives one skill at a time.

More Than Craftsmanship

To foster a society where individuals recovering from mental illness are empowered with the tools, con-fidence, and support they need to lead fulfilling lives—emotionally, socially, and economically.

Every incense stick packed, every Rakhi tied, and every spice blend prepared is a reflection of personal growth, restored confidence, and quiet determination. Our artisans bring their own flair and dedication to the work they do, and each task—no matter how simple—is carried out with care, purpose, and pride.

They are trained in various skill areas, including:

Eco-friendly paper bag making

Handmade Rakhi creation

Packaging and quality control

Incense stick sorting and perfuming

Tea masala and vegetable spice mixing

With each product, they are not only creating something beautiful and useful
—they are also creating new possibilities for themselves and their future.

Stories That Inspire

Behind every artisan is a powerful story of resilience. Some are reconnecting with their families, while others are finding purpose for the first time in years. They are discovering what it means to be valued, included, and self-sufficient.

Through Pahel’s nurturing environment, our artisans are:

Rediscovering their identity
Building emotional and financial independence
Contributing meaningfully to their community

We celebrate them not as patients or beneficiaries—but as skilled individuals with creativity, dreams, and potential.
