@dsourceindia Palm fiber, a natural material extracted from the leaves of Palmyra trees, is used to create a wide range of eco-friendly products - from baskets and mats to hand fans, caps, and accessories. In Kacheripady, Ernakulam district of Kerala, a remarkable community initiative has been empowering women from financially challenged backgrounds, many of whom have recovered from physical or mental health issues. For over five decades, this center has been a safe space offering training in palm craft, banana fiber art, embroidery, and tailoring. Open to all - regardless of age, caste, or religion - this initiative is a beautiful example of craft being used for healing, empowerment, and sustainable livelihoods.
