Jugaad is the fund raising arm of Karm Marg, the children’s home that seeks to empower vulnerable youths with livelihood skills. When customers buy Jugaad’s cool patchwork, innovative stationery and whacky clothes, they are helping to contribute a whopping fifty per cent of Karm Marg’s expenses. Jugaad also stands for the quest for innovative uses of waste products. Using waste newspaper, bottles, textiles, CDs and more, Jugaad creates and markets a vast range of handcrafted and eco-friendly products. This approach of creating immediate solutions from insufficient resources using creative ingenuity is what we call, the truly Indian ‘jugaad’.
