Made in a women's cooperative in Bombay, WIT. WIT - one of my favorite acronyms - stands for Women's India Trust.

Established in the year 1968 by Ms.Kamila Tyabji, WIT started by training less privileged and unskilled women in Bombay to stitch sari petticoats. Since then WIT has helped many women to develop skills and earn a regular income; this has changed their lives and the lives of their families.

The nature of activities at WIT has evolved with the changing needs of society, but as an organization, WIT has remained women-centric and continues to help less fortunate women secure a better future. WIT remains dedicated to the original vision of its founder, Kamila Tyabji: to help women to help themselves; to encourage women from less privileged backgrounds to acquire new skills; to give them the self-confidence and self esteem required to earn by their own industry and initiative; to enable them to carry this newly discovered skill and confidence into the wider world as well as within the framework of WIT.
