This singing bowl has been handcrafted by women who are part of a large co-operative in Nepal called Third World Crafts. Their business model is simple, the co-operative provides needed raw material and training to home based women and artisans who make finished products and deliver back to the co-operative. They are paid immediately with fair remuneration and a yearly bonus. In each location they have group leader who manages raw materials collection , distribution and delivery back. She gets little more wages/commission for doing the managerial work.
