Handyman's Soap

This soap is unscented and great for scrubbing away any grit and grime!

Who Made It: Palam Rural Centre (People’s Association for Leather and Allied Manufacturing) offers employment opportunities to people of the marginalized Harijan community in a village in Tamil Nadu region, southeastern India.  In the Tamil language, Palam also means "bridge."  Palam Rural Centre seeks to build a "bridge" to the markets of the rest of the world.  With money from product sales, Palam has purchased land and homes for artisans (ownership traditionally unavailable to lower castes) and built a school for artisans’ children.  Other artisan benefits include health care and retirement pensions.  Palam artisans see the education of their children as the key to hope and change.  Through this work, Palam Rural Centre is providing dignity and security to artisans and helping to break down caste walls in society.
