I am a regular buyer of collectibles that are handcrafted by women who are a part of RAHAT. They're doing a great job in providing sustainable jobs to men & women who could barely make the both ends meet. God bless them.
Proud to see that the efforts of RAHAT has gained national recognition. I wish them all the best for their future endeavors!
RAHAT has been emerging as a leading NGO that has been working tirelessly towards the upliftment of women in the society. I look up to them and feel a sense of respect for the pioneers who have started a wave of reform in the societal tier. Commendable work.
