The Kishkinda Trust

The Kishkinda Trust runs programmes and builds business opportunities in Anegundi that benefit both the local community and help preserve the village's heritage and culture. The first project in 1997 created a cottage industry of crafts using locally produced cloth, banana fibres and river grasses. It now employs over 500 women and the attractive crafts are sold across India. You can view the range at the Hoova Craft Shop & Café in the village centre.

With international support, one of the village's traditional houses has been rehabilitated and turned into an interpretation centre. The Kishkinda Trust's latest project is a series of homestays and guesthouses around the village.
