Brief description about Handycraftz:

Handycraftz India is a non-profit organization aiming to empower the underprivileged and disadvantaged sections of society by teaching them a self sustaining vocation skill of creating handicrafts from waste and scrap materials. This includes using leftover clothes from tailor shops, left over paper from printing presses, handmade paper factories etc. Once they make the products, Handycraftz India markets and sells these items returning all profit to the people who made the articles.

The organization works with all types of disadvantaged people. This includes, child centers such as orphanages, remand homes, establishments for physically challenged people, home for destitute women, abandoned elders and so on. Currently there are tie ups with around 5 centers in Ernakulam.

Make a Difference(MAD) is an organization of young people working with underprivileged children to provide them with quality education. MAD was started in 2006 in Kochi when three college students got together to teach English to children in an orphanage. The concept quickly gained ground and within a short span, MAD developed into an organized network providing an easy platform for college students and young professionals to reach out and make a difference.

MAD volunteers believe in bridging the gap in society through education; to make a difference in the lives of thousands of children in street shelters, poor homes, and other child-support establishments. MAD’s volunteers work towards providing these children with quality education to empower them to take control of their lives and follow their dreams. The MAD syllabus focuses on life skills through improved communication skills, computer skills and personality development.
