Shop to make a difference.

The Gokhale Foundation’s mission is to be a force for good in two ways. The foundation promotes and supports local craftspeople. Anything that you buy at our store is handcrafted by artisans that have honed their skills over several generations. Second, the foundation helps underprivileged children by providing educational resources and supporting local schools.

Our founder, Poulomi Gokhale, is greatly inspired by the diversity of talent that India has held on to for centuries and a strong advocate for empowerment through education. By shopping at our store, you not only own a beautiful example of handcrafted talent but also make an impact by supporting local artisans and helping a child in need.

"We must give a voice to those who have none"

-Mother Teresa

Each of our products is brought to you from the hands and hearts of Indian artisans, and the profits from each of these purchases go directly to add warmth back to the lives of the underprivileged. Gokhale Foundation thus works towards amplifying the voices of local craftspersons to showcase the beauty of their work and then to give back to the community by empowering impoverished children. 

We believe that by funding meals, educational resources, and essential infrastructure, we can help underprivileged children build a brighter future.

The Gokhale Foundation has partnered with three schools -a rural community school, an urban educational center, and a school for underprivileged children to provide vital support. Our contributions include school supplies, infrastructure improvements, and assistance with teaching staff and student fees, ensuring that every child has the opportunity to learn with dignity.

Every purchase you make at the Gokhale Foundation directly empowers skilled artisans while also transforming young lives through education.

Dr Hermann Gmeiner Social Center
From 2020

For the past few years, we have been supporting this social center by providing nutritious meals, school supplies, clothes, and shoes to underprivileged children from nearby slums. This center plays a crucial role in keeping them off the streets and away from substance abuse, including glue sniffing. Our efforts ensure they have the basic necessities to attend school with dignity and focus on learning. 
Through our continued commitment, we strive to improve their well-being and create opportunities for a brighter future.

Gram Probodhini - Salumbre
From 2020

In support of our village children, for the past few years, we have been supporting Balagram Salumbre, a rural school dedicated to educating underprivileged children. We have provided essential school supplies, including books, chairs, and dustbins, to improve their learning environment. Additionally, we have contributed to their meal program, ensuring that all 500 children receive nutritious food. Our efforts aim to create a more comfortable and supportive space for their education. Through this ongoing commitment, we hope to enhance their opportunities for a brighter future.
