Creative Dignity is a collaborative, volunteer-led initiative by India's master artisans and leading artisan development organizations in response to the devastating effects of the COVID-19 pandemic on millions of rural artisans across the country. Indian artisans are largely unorganized. They belong to the informal sector and depend on piece work rates. During the lockdown, rural artisans were cut off from urban markets, and unlike farmers, didn't even have food stock for subsistence. Those that had migrated to cities for work were forced to return to their villages. This loss of livelihoods threatens health and security in rural areas. Creative Dignity is focused on relief, rehabilitation, and rejuvenation for sustained prosperity of Indian artisans. They believe that craft production, when reinterpreted as creative manufacturing, can be the foundation for regenerative economies. 100 percent of the funds raised go directly to the artisans most affected by the global pandemic.
