JYOTI - FAIR WORKS is a German-Indian fair fashion label that produces clothing in a socially and ecologically sustainable way. We produce clothes and accessories that please our customers, but especially all the people involved in the production - from the workers in cotton cultivation, to the weavers to the seamstresses. To be able to guarantee this, it is important for us to know the people who are involved in the production of our clothes - along the entire value chain.
Our clothes are manufactured in two sewing workshops in the southern Indian towns of Chittapur and Londa, where we now work closely with almost 20 women and the local NGOs Jyothi Seva Kendra and Nava Chetana Kendra. Here, socially disadvantaged women receive training as seamstresses, permanent employment, various opportunities for further training, regular medical check-ups and a fair salary. Along the rest of our value chain, we work exclusively with small family businesses and cooperatives. They lovingly weave and print all our fabrics by hand using traditional techniques.
