Roka was established as a social business in order to utilize women, a highly underused resource, to both empower them and raise their status, but to also help break the cycle of poverty for their families. The products produced by Rŏka are jewellery pieces that are hand-made by the women of Maranahali Villages in India using a granite dust clay which is taken from the quarry they live and work in. The use of the granite dust clay provides a unique piece of jewellery, as well as utilizing a source which is freely available to the women as the dust is a waste product from the laborious mining of the quarries. Roka employs Indian women, providing them with economic empowerment & personal pride, & as a result they are able to subsidise the running of 40K PLUS education pods, to provide literacy, numeracy, & life-skills education to their children, & all the children in the villages. Through the 40K Group, and partnerships with Australian Universities and TAFES, 'Roka Projects' are run which empower young Australian's to be a part of social change. They learn about social entrepreneurship & about the potential to make a difference. The idea with Roka Projects is to train up young people in addressing social issues through an entrepreneurial lens, & to utilise their collective knowledge to impact real change. www.rokajewellery.org Show less
