New handicraft shop of Ashalayam

Ashalayam opened a new handicraft shop in the center of Calcutta. In this shop, we sell the handicraft produced by the children in the handicraft sections.

 

 

This store is a mean for Ashalayam to:

-  
Make  the Indian population aware of  the problem of the street children
   
-  

Promote the action of Ashalayam towards the Indians, tourists, businessmen or volunteers

   
-  

Form the children to the business ; sales, inventory control, price policy,relations with the customers

   
-  

Fund raising for the association

   
-  
Pay the children a salary. At the end of each month, children will receive a "salary" depending on how much handicraft they have produced. This income is then saved in a bank account, to help acquire a plot of land, buy a machine or build a house.


Description of the store

 

The store is divided into two zones: a part where are presented various articles to be sold and a "coffee" section where it makes good to stop for a coffee, for a refreshing drink or to taste the delicious biscuits from the bakery.
