Who We Are
Founded in 2015, Cocobagh is an artisan-training initiative supported by Eco Jute.
We create paid time for women to learn in rural areas of East India and on the edges of Kolkata, teaching stitching, printing and basic workplace skills.
Eco Jute makes the bags; Cocobagh grows the people behind them.
Everything we do starts with why
We believe in building better
Real people making great products
Growing people, not just products
Working through village classrooms and city hubs, we start with women who have had least access to secure work.
In small, supportive groups, learners build technical skills, literacy, confidence and peer networks so progress is realistic, safe and rooted in everyday life.
Pathways into dignified work
Training hours are always paid and never used to fulfil commercial orders.
As skills grow, learners choose next steps that fit their lives: home-based work, local Cocobagh clusters, or, if they wish, roles with partners like Eco Jute – with the focus on steady, self-directed independence
