PRAYAAS (Promoting Rural Artisanship and Yielding Authentic Adaptive Solutions) is a transformative initiative of the Shivranjani Foundation dedicated to empowering rural communities through economic growth and self-sufficiency. This project focuses on creating opportunities in various sectors, including agriculture, handicrafts, textiles, and traditional crafts.

By providing resources, training, and access to markets, PRAYAAS uplifts artisans and small-scale producers, enabling them to thrive in their trades while preserving cultural heritage and promoting sustainable practices. The initiative supports economic empowerment and encourages innovative, adaptive solutions that address local challenges while fostering environmental responsibility.

Through PRAYAAS, we aim to cultivate resilience and adaptability within rural communities, ensuring they can meet both their economic and environmental challenges. Join us in our mission to promote authentic adaptive solutions that empower those who contribute to the richness of our cultural and natural heritage.
