Peace Valley
Peace Valley Maker Group live in the state of Kerala in Southern India. There are 30 members. Between them they have 50 children. The area in which they live, Wayanad, is famous for its coffee. The Peace Valley Maker Group was the first to be trained in the production of Secret Pillows back in 2013. In recent years the local agriculture has declined and the income-generating activities it creates have reduced dramatically. The makers came together through a local ashram run by the guru Amma and a women’s empowerment project run by Ammachi Labs and funded by the United Nations Democracy Fund. Some of the makers are now master trainers and some run their own small micro enterprises. Our plan is to continue to expand this network and support them to be completely independent.
