About us:
1.History: Noahs Ark was founded & started by Mr. Samuel Masih from one room of his house in 1986 when nobody knew Fair Trading and it was more related to social work. He studied on the working terms and conditions of metal craftsmen of Moradabad and observed that the exporters were not involving their money in the production at all. They were not only using the small artisans money but also were giving very low wages. These situations gave him the will to create an organization, which would be honest toward the artisans sustaining good relationships, based on reciprocated trust. Samuel was persuaded that, on the long run the quality of relationship with artisans would be better and better.
2.Mission: Our mission has been to commit ourselves and our producer groups to Fair Trade and to change lives of grass root artisans through education and capacity building so that they may stand on their own feet, become more aware of fair working conditions and environment in order to prove the value, Cultural heritage & beauty of their hand made products and continuing the improvements collectively towards poverty eradication and also providing our cutomers the best value of their money and creating situations where the buyers customer could meet the artisans who produce their goods.
3.Credentials: Noah Ark is a member of World Fair Trade Organisation (WFTO) and Fair Trade Forum (FTF) India and also hold ISO 9001-2008 certification. Also we are one of the Pilot projects (SFTMS) from India for Fair Trade Product Label.
4.Facility: We have 10000 sq ft of working place with qualified staff to work professionally and offer best services to our clients. Most of our artisan, staff and clients are working with us since long time as we very much thrust on sustainability and mutual trust.
5.Artisans: Beside having its own working units, Noahs Ark also works with about 49 artisan groups involving approximately 500 artisans and 30% of these are women. The main places for production are Moradabad, Saharanpur, Nagina, Jaipur, Sari Tarin, Delhi, Hapur, Firozabad & Amritsar. We pay fair wages which are more than 10+15% than the local wages and our supervisors do two stage monitoring for certifying production quality, working condition and ensure that the correct wages are being paid. Also we do capacity building for artisans and during last 15 years we were able to establish workshop for more than 20 grass root artisans.
Social work:
The social work is looked after by our registered NGO named Noahs Handicrafts & ArtisanWelfare Society and is wholly funded by Noahs Ark. Different projects and activities are run which are as follows:
1. Project Ashkiran means Ray of Hope: Schooling projects run at 3 different locations to educate the poor and children of artisans at free of cost. Approximately 250 children are being educated under these projects.
2. Project Pyas: Pyas means Thirst and this is a clean water projects in the artisans workshops.
3. Project Umeed: This is a Hope project for grass root artisans, where we provided them infrastructure to work independently to earn more.
4. Project Disha: We are also running stitching school for the young daughters of artisans age 14 and above where these girls learn stitching & embroidery as these are important skills nowadays in handicrafts sector also.
