Project Urja Learns Paper Quilling
As
a Colorss initiative aimed towards fostering economic independence amongst
disadvantaged women, Project Urja helps empower women by teaching them skills
that can be used to generate an income. Since its inception, Project Urja has
successfully swelled to a group of around 25 women, who have recently been busy
paper quilling.

Paper Quilling
Paper
quilling is a creative art form that rolls, shapes and glues together strips of
paper to create decorative designs. These designs can then be used to decorate
several items, from storage boxes to greeting cards.
Paper Quilling Products
As
keen learners, the women of Project Urja quickly picked up paper quilling after
only a two-hours training session. They were immediately able to produce paper
quilling outputs, and look forward to making more products such as designer
envelopes and decorative wall fixtures.

With
their acute ability to pick up skills and serious dedication, Project Urja is
confident that the women’s paper quilling products would continuously improve
in quality in the future. We look forward to more paper quilling from Project
Urja!
