The Franciscan nuns serving in the Indian state of Tamil Nadu, in the spirit of the encyclical “May You Be Praised” by Pope Francis and the teachings of St. Francis of Assisi, opened a textile factory to help Working Indian young women pay special attention to those young women with disabilities.
(Vatican News Network)The nuns of the Franciscans of Italy came to Tamil Nadu in southern India in 1994 and started service activities there to help young women who are not working, and pay special attention to those young women who are affected by various disabilities, especially deaf and mute women. . The nuns decided to use their income not only for the development of production, but also for other charity and relief work.
Is there a better job to do cotton products in India? Say and do. The nuns opened a textile factory with only a hundred employees at first, and now there are about three hundred. The factory specializes in handmade cotton garments. These superbly made garments from Tamil Nadu slowly opened up space in the fair and united trade of Italian shops, and they are getting bigger and bigger.
Some of the young women working in the factory are from Kerala, which is an important local Catholic church. The Franciscan nuns provide them with board and lodging. In addition, they also have a good monthly salary, and provide continuous training courses, etc., aiming to improve the product, pay the greatest attention to organic products, and make the products more attractive to the international market. In the nearly 30 years of business, the work of the textile factory has not only further combined tradition, innovation and environmental protection, but also created a 100% organic cotton industry.
