WELL means "Women's Empowerment through Local Livelihood"
WELLPaper was initiated in 2005 in South India as a tsunami-relief effort, to provide alternative livelihood to affected families from the local areas. It has gradually developed into a social enterprise model for women from neighbouring villages of Auroville, South India. Its two main goals are to provide self-empowerement and livelihood for women and to develop and promote products made of recycled materials.
By selecting our WellPaper products, you help support an environmentally aware project and positively impact the lives of some very lovely women and their families.
Wellpaper is an Auroville unit operating in association with Auroville Village Action Trust.
An environmentally friendly handicraft; rolled, woven and pulped by the women of Wellpaper using recycled materials, mainly newspapers, carton boxes, plastic bags, plastic bottles and polystyrene cartons.
