Where Enterprise Meets Empowerment

Begum Bazar

Begum Bazar is GIA's livelihood and craft programme built on the idea that economic independence and cultural expression are not separate things. Working with trans artisans in Karachi who were begging on the streets, the programme provides hands-on skills training in craft production.
