Our Story

Learn about your impact. 

A charity simply redistributes wealth. The Seakhala Sewing School is self-generating funds to provide social impact that is sustainable.

ABOUT US: Ardent Wares is a social enterprise in West Bengal, India that trains and employs women to hand sew products such as tote & wine bags made from indigenous material. These women seek greater prosperity for their villages, building healthier communities and finding self-fulfillment.

OUR MISSION: To see entire villages raised out of poverty through empowering women to build and sustain healthy Christian communities, and attain financial security through producing handmade wares.

Ardent stands for devoted and passionate... & we invite you to share the passion!
