‘Dolls4Tibet - A positive change in the lives of Tibetan refugee and Himachali women’
Dolls4Tibet is an inspiring and meaningful social and micro-enterprise based in northern India that has touched the lives of many displaced Tibetan refugees and local Himachali women inside the Tibetan exiled community in Himachal Pradesh, India. Through the intricate art of doll making, this grassroots initiative aims to create life-changing economic opportunities for its doll makers, empowering them to become self-sufficient and promoting women's empowerment.
Through the art of doll-making this visionary workshop not only provides crucial training, skills development, and meaningful employment for its makers, but also fosters cross-cultural understanding, social integration, and harmony within its community and beyond.
At Dolls4Tibet, every product is crafted with a profound commitment to the Waldorf Steiner philosophy, which recognizes that children's toys are best created with the child's senses in mind. Each doll is made predominantly of natural materials, carefully selected for their beauty and softness to the touch. By choosing these natural materials, Dolls 4 Tibet honors the Waldorf Steiner philosophy's belief in connecting children to the natural world.
