For artisans, credit is closely linked to marketability and market access.  KHAMIR recognizes that credit can not be offered to Kachchh artisans as an independent intervention.  KHAMIR’s upcoming Credit Service will work hand-in-hand with its trade facilitation service point and raw material depot so artisans are better able to acquire the raw materials they need to explore and produce for new markets.

Credit is closely linked to marketability and market access

KHAMIR is currently pursuing partnerships with financial institutions to develop its Credit Service for Kachchh artisans.
