Center For
Development
&
Peace

The “Centre for Development and Peace” is an NGO, located Meherpur. With our training programs we support and empower minorities and vulnerable groups in the Meherpur community and its neighbouring districts. Training traditional handicrafts, that meet the needs of today’s standards, is one of our most important programs for woman. By continuing making handicrafts after the training, the woman are enabled  to generate income for themselves and their families. The handcrafted products are all sold through Tripty Boutique House, a subsidiary and named after one of CDP’s founders Tripty Kona Biswas.
The handicraft section of CDP is specialised in handmade one-of-a-kind, so called Kantha from recycled sari’s. The traditional Kantha stitch comes in a large variety of designs, patterns and colours..
The craft-family of CDP is active since 2010 and consists of around 200 skilled women. Depending on the demand they work around 5 hours a day in their own village, so they can combine it easily with the household work and taking care of their children. From CDP they receive a living wage which contributes to a basic but decent standard of living. The price customers pay is therefore fair and contributing to a better life for these families.
