Artisans- July 25
I had never stepped out of my home independently. While working with Aftertaste I have grown as an artisan and trainer. Now I travel independently across Mumbai to train women from other communities. Today I motivate others to push themselves out of their comfort zone and learn new skills to become a competent artisan. I feel proud to be able to educate my son in a school of my choice.

I realised about my hidden talents here at Aftertaste. I feel very fortunate to be able to work and reduce my financial constraints. I possessed certain skills which I did not know would help me build as an artisan and earn my livelihood. Now I make multiple new products beyond my imagination. I want to work and earn till my last breath and fend for myself.

When I joined Aftertaste I gained more knowledge about education, financial literacy and got better exposure. I had never used an ATM before but now I withdraw money through the ATM. I have become an independent decision maker in my family. I have learnt and adapted the values of Aftertaste in my life leading with compassion, empathy and a sense of community in my neighbourhood.

My previous job didn't give me the flexibility to look after my children, so I joined Aftertaste. Now I can look after my kids while earning a better pay. I am learning new skills and overcoming my fear of the unknown. I have developed confidence to design and create new products. After joining Aftertaste, I have become financially aware and dream to start my own training and production centre.

Vision

We believe in an idea of a developed India where every individual has access to a dignified life and opportunities. Aftertaste was started with the vision to empower women from economically disadvantaged communities and empower them to break the vicious cycle of social and economic poverty. Aftertaste makes opportunities that come with knowledge, exposure and economic means, accessible to marginalised women from the urban low-income communities of Mumbai.

Economic Poverty

Poverty is rampant in the slums of Mumbai, as many who migrated with dreams of success, are struggling for basic survival. The millions that inhabit the slums live in abject conditions of social and economic poverty, especially the women and children.

State of Women and Children

The women of these slums deal with the existential challenges, poor quality of life and patriarchy, resulting in women and children stuck in cycles of unfair wages, unfavourable working conditions and loss of dignity.

Social Poverty

Due to lack of knowledge and awareness of government schemes and policies, the hard-earned money gets misused by several racquets which operate in the slum and dupe the people in the name of saving. The money earned is almost rendered useless.
