Usthi at the Christkindlimärt

A piece of India for Christmas? Usthi will be at the Christkindlimärt in Rapperswil-Jona from 14.-17. December.

Rapperswil-Jona is practically the cradle of the Usthi Foundation. Usthi was founded here in 1985. We are therefore all the more delighted to be part of this year’s Christkindlimärt Rapperswil-Jona. For the occasion of the Christmas market, the employees of the Garment Factory, a social business venture organised by our partner organisation in Hyderabad, sewed colourful scarves, kitchen towels and other textile products. The proceeds from the Christmas market go back into the Usthi projects.

We look forward to welcoming you with a warm cup of chai from the tea manufacturer Premsoul! You can find us on Rathausstrasse. Opening hours and further details about the Christkindlimärt can be found here.
