Mahaguthi, Craft With a Conscience, promotes microenterprises by marketing the handicrafts of more than 1,000 Nepali artisans working in 150 workshops. Many of the artisans are from remote and mountainous areas; many are women who use traditional craft skills while working in their own home. Mahaguthi's focus is to provide employment, while promoting principles of fair trade. A significant portion of Mahaguthi's profit goes to a shelter home for women and children focusing on rehabilitation.
