Project balunda
Project Balunda supports girls education, women headed houses and vulnerable seniors in the village of Balunda where our Balunda Baubles collection is made. We undertake specific projects to benefit the whole community in addition to providing monthly pensions for nine families with the stipulation that the girls of the family must attend school. Currently all projects are self funded by Jaipur Atelier. Our emphasis is on the importance of valuing and educating girls and so with that in mind and now that our world is recovering from the devastation of the pandemic we can finally move forward with the building of an English only curriculum school in Balunda so that the girls of the village may have the same opportunity as girls in a city. Details of our completed projects and updates on our current ones are available and it would be our pleasure to keep you updated. Please email us sales@jaipuratelier.com

OUR PENSION FAMILIES
We currently have nine families on pension - all of them, with the exception of two families are women headed house holds or vulnerable seniors with no children. In traditional tribal society, the children would take care of their parents as they age.
Five of the families, have small school age children-all of them have daughters and we stipulate that in order to receive a pension, the girls must go to school - so if the family needs help in the fields, we provide a day laborer for them so that the girl will not be removed from school. We have two families who are exceptions- a senior man who lives with his mentally ill adult daughter and en elderly couple with no children.
