OUR WORK WITH
Vimukti Sanstha
How It Started
When starting the business, giving back in a meaningful way was always integral to the plan. Thanks to the introduction of a friend, Rosanna met the team Vimukti Sanstha, a non-profit which provides education and career opportunities to under-privileged girls from Jaipur.
"Attending the block printing workshop with Rosanna ma'am was not just about learning a new art, it was really an overwhelming moment of my life. I enjoyed it a lot with her."

How It Developed
10% of annual profits and all ticketed event income are donated to the school. But support is more than donations, Rosanna also holds regular workshops for pupils with recent classes including still life drawing, block printing and papier-mâché craft, as well as more practical mentoring. Many of the workshops are in partnership with the wonderful team at Rajasthan Studio.
