"Hungry for love, he looks at you. Thirsty for kindness, he begs of you. Naked for loyalty, he hopes in you. Homeless for shelter in your heart, he asks of you. Will you be that one to him?"
- Mother Teresa

Every day, one million metric tonnes of cloth waste is produced in India's mills and a lot of it ends up in landfills and in the oceans. Using upcycled cloth waste coming from garment factories and decor shops, Silaigram provides jobs to marginalised women who can stitch the material into beautiful jholas and kurtis.
Founded in 2018 by 19-year-old Wasudev Mishra, Silaigram, a social impact startup aims to provide sustainable livelihoods in rural parts of India. In the last one year, they have managed to upcycle over 1000 kilograms of cloth material. They have also set up a one-of-a-kind design lab that provides women with the material and freedom to design new and innovative products. ❤
