The Challenge
In rural India, the path to entrepreneurship is often hidden beneath layers of socio-economic barriers. For women and girls, these barriers loom even larger, overshadowing their talents and aspirations. Moreover, India’s culinary heritage, which includes the art of chocolate making, is fading in the shadows of globalization and lack of formal culinary training.
The Solution
The Desai Foundation’s Chocolate Making Training program addresses this challenge by targeting the absence of culinary arts training in rural areas, providing a curriculum that covers chocolate-making techniques alongside essential business management and marketing skills.
The Lasting Impact
This program aims to catalyze change by inspiring a new wave of culinary entrepreneurship. By empowering women, girls, and individuals in rural communities with both culinary and entrepreneurial skills, the initiative not only contributes to economic development but also plays a role in promoting excellence in culinary arts. The skills acquired ensure the longevity and relevance of this culinary art in the modern marketplace.
