Who We Are
Atelier Shanti, (Peace, in Sanskrit), an association affiliated to Volontariat, is a rehabilitation centre for the disabled, which includes weaving, sewing and embroidery sections.Production is made by cured leprosy patients, by physically handicapped men and women and by women with social handicaps. The workshop is divided in 3 sections: weaving, sewing, embroidery, plus people for the staff, maintenance and security. On total, 33 are at work on 1st December 2022.
WHAT WE DO?
Weaving Section
Most of them are handicapped, are working in the different stages of the weaving process: those who prepare the big and small bobbins, workers preparing the chain (“Atchie”), those in charge of the sizing and warping, those specialized on “Pavou” (organizing the yarn of the chain), those who apply starch and lastly weavers who make rolls (fabrics) about 19 m of length and 1m50 of width.
Sewing Section
The women use power sewing machines to manufacture the items, ordered by the customers through a catalogue (bags, aprons, table cloth, etc), which is revised every year.
Embroidery Section
Many of the women who are employed in this section are physically handicapped. They manufacture made-ups and embroidered table cloths ordered by our customers.
Most of the production is exported to the committees in France and Belgium which place orders. The finished products are packed and shipped to their final destination, through the application of the normal commercial rules. The workers of Atelier Shanti are very proud to export the fruit of their work whereas they are still physically and socially handicapped.
We need many people who continue to buy our fabrics or made-ups, bags, tablecloth, etc, in the different committees showrooms in France and Belgium, to give to the women and men of Atelier Shanti the right to live with dignity, thanks to their work and not to our charity.
