ABOUT US
Empowering Communities Through Tradition and Innovation
The S.W.A.R.I Foundation [ Silk & Wood Arts Research Institute ] is a mission-driven organization rooted in the vibrant communities of Ramanagara and Channapatna. We blend the rich heritage of Channapatna wooden crafts and Ramanagara silk-making with modern innovation to uplift artisans and their families.
Our work focuses on preserving these timeless traditions while creating sustainable livelihoods. Through programs in healthcare, education, mental well-being, and market access, we empower artisans to thrive as celebrated creators. Together, we’re building self-sufficient communities where traditions flourish and future generations are inspired to carry them forward.

At S.W.A.R.I Foundation, our mission is to empower artisans and their families by preserving traditional crafts and adapting them for the modern era. We aim to build sustainable futures and resilient communities by addressing critical areas like healthcare, education, and livelihoods.
