About BhuME: Our initiative up-cycles tailoring waste into educational toys with the help of underprivileged women under SHGs and intends to sell these products to anganwadis in our home district of Ernakulam, Kerala. These products have been designed under the guidance of Child Development and Fashion Technology experts at St. Teresa’s College, Kochi. Our initiative also received a grant from the United Nations Development Programme and the Kerala Startup Mission to expand this initiative to the district of Idukki, Kerala.

We aim to work towards the 3 objectives mentioned below through this initiative;
a) Education: Improve quality of educational toys available at anganwadis (SDG 4)
b) Livelihood: Creation of livelihood opportunities for unemployed women (SDG 5)
c) Environment: Create products that cause minimal environmental disruption & tackle tailoring waste management problem (SDG 12 & 15)
