We Need Doctors for India’s Artisans!
If you are a medical professional this message is for you:
The second wave is already beginning to hit smaller towns and villages where the doctor-patient ratio is very low; in some states, a single doctor serves almost 40,000 people. Thus, remote medical support is crucial now more than ever. Your skills will ensure that the right information reaches India’s rural artisan communities at the right time. All it will take is a few hours of your time.
Inviting volunteers from the medical fraternity - doctors, nurses, medical students, and others to join Creative Dignity’s volunteer community to provide medical support where it matters.
Sign up to volunteer: bit.ly/3eZsczr

If you are not a medical professional and want to help, do spread the message and help us get in touch with volunteers.

With the devastating ferocity of the second wave of Covid-19, artisans all over India face the double threat of a health crisis and livelihood uncertainty. You can donate now to help communities get basic supplies and verified medical advice, so they are better prepared for home isolation and community care in times when the state health infrastructure is under severe strain. We are also tying up with health partners and local NGOs to organise better community-level care as much as possible. Creative Dignity is using its Pan India network of craft related organisations and professionals working with communities by preparing artisan leaders to take preventive and preemptive measures.
Donate now to help regions get oximeters, thermometers, basic medicines and masks as well as medical advice for families in isolation. You can also choose to donate any amount for critical care for verified cases that need emergency support.

CD has joined hands with CAC to share accurate information, and help communities in smaller towns and villages as the covid-19 virus penetrates through the country during the second wave of the pandemic. Our teams have collated verified information in the form of posters, audio messages, and videos on various topics like prevention of Covid, home isolation, vaccination, etc in many Indian languages. Please share these resources among your communities. We will be putting up some material in our stories, feel free to screenshot. Do get in touch with us for links to download the material.

At this trying time of the ferocious second wave of the covid-19 pandemic, creative dignity along with CAC has taken up the task of disseminating information to artisan communities in the smaller towns and villages. With the aim to support communities who are distressed and may need access to resources, @creativedignity and @okhai_org have set up an artisan helpline. This helpline is to help anyone on ground, especially in relief efforts and to share accurate information, therefore, we request you to share the number with anyone you may know who may need this support.
Deeply grateful to @okhai_org x @creativedignity x Covid Action Lab (CAC) for this undertaking

If we do not lay ourselves in the service of mankind, especially in such trying times,whom should we serve. In this post you will find a collated list of the organisations offering support and much needed help to the vulnerable Indian communities and multitudes of families located remotely. Communities such as these lack access to medical care, and need our assistance, in grappling with the demands of the pandemic.

In an hour of need such as this, it is our duty to step up and help our fellow countrymen battle the pandemic and its repercussions.

This navratri Karuna is in Bengal, embodying the spirit of Shakti and empowerment in the form of Tara. For some Tara is the goddess of wisdom, for some a shinning star, for some she is energy and consciousness and for some she is liberation. In Bengali folklore Tara is worshipped with Kali and represents Karuna as opposed to Kali’s Vibhishika. Whatever she signifies, Tara always shows the way. In these times of adversity, we hope that all of us find our light.
Our modern day form of shakti, Tara isn't flawless but she is real, she represents both fire and compassion. Get her power figure home and support the hard-working and resilient women @dishfoundationngo who make Tara!
Each doll helps disha foundations' efforts in supporting marginalized women, children and youth from Monoharpukur slum area in Kolkata in spheres of education, health and capacity building

Today marks yet another day of new hope and light. Vishu, the Malayali new year shows us the spirit of handmade hope and traditions. The first light of the year in a brass lamp, the 500-year-old heritage of making the Aranmula mirror, the hand-sculpted Krishna idol as well as the handloom fabric of the Vishu kani are some manifestations of this spirit. And the story of these manifestations has been brought to us by the Kerala team of Creative Dignity along with the artisans who are a part of the team.
Image and Story credits: KP Lakshmi, @purelivin , CP Narayanan Parangodan (woodwork artisan), Niranjan and Sudhammal (Aranmula mirror makers) and Siva Narayanan (brassware artisan).

Today, new beginnings bring new cheer and new hope for many communities across the country. These new beginnings are often marked by simple yet beautiful handmade celebrations and happiness. Our member and volunteer Sunaina Suneja @rajcreationsdelhi narrates a story of such Baisakhi happy celebrations from Punjab.
Tell us how you celebrate the day in your community and what handmade specialty can you spot in the festivities!

Karuna is in the very heart of India, Madhya Pradesh. Here in the form of Narmada Dadi, she brings loads of stories.
Talented women weavers from her hometown, Maheshwar's famous Rehwa Society adorn Dadi with a special sari made of their handloom fabric leftover.
Dadi's favorite tales to tell are of the Narmada river and all its surrounding life forms. Dadi’s stories are brought to life with painted animal characters by Gond artist Choti Tekam.
Get your Dadima and her bag of stories today!
