Abdul and his wife Fatima belong to an artisan cooperative in the northwestern region of India. Because of severe drought, this region is not farmable. Artisans must use crafts, such as bell-making, to earn an income and support the local economy of the region. This is an ancient, traditional art passed over generations where both men and women are equally involved. Now, over 1000 artisans in villages across this region are repositioning this traditional craft for sustainable livelihood.
