Meaningful Gifts

The Advent season marks the beginning of the search for suitable Christmas gifts. With our gift ideas, you not only choose something unusual, but also support young people in India and Nepal.

Silk Scarves

As part of the professional skills training in Hyderabad, young women and men can learn the sewing handicraft. In addition to donations from Switzerland, the project is financed by a textile processing centre in India. As a social business venture, the centre offers jobs on the one hand and covers part of the costs of the professional training on the other.

The coloured scarves are made from a silk blend in the sewing workshop. With your purchase you support the professional skills courses in India. The scarves are available in 3 sizes and 6 different colours.


Price: CHF 15.- / 20.- / 25.-

Masala Tea

The best known and most popular drink in India is the Masala Chai. A mixture of black tea and spices such as cardamom, cinnamon, pepper, ginger, fennel and star anise. In Hinduism, each spice is believed to have a specific healthy benefit.

Usthi sources the authentic chai blend fresh from a family business in Kolkata. With your purchase you support the nearby Ananda School.

Price: CHF 10.- / 100gr
