ABOUT THE ARTISAN

In Moradabad, an Indian city with a population of almost 1.2 million, more than half of the people are involved in the handicrafts trade. Unfortunately, the industry has long been plagued with injustice. Artisans are paid low wages, forced to pay commissions to exporters, and must self-finance the raw materials needed to complete orders.

As the cost of goods has become prohibitively high and the international market has evolved, artisans must invest in diversifying beyond Moradabad’s traditional crafts—though many fall victim to debt or shop closure. Trades that are passed down from one generation to another make up an important part of India’s culture. Yet the heritage and tradition of handicrafts is increasingly threatened as insufficient profits force marginalized artisans to seek other professions.

After many years of witnessing the artisans’ struggles, Samuel Masih established Noah’s Ark International Exports in 1986 to raise the artisans out of poverty and preserve their livelihoods. Noah’s Ark has supported artisans and their families with fair wages, long-term business investment and collaboration, and health and education initiatives for more than thirty years.
