BanaGloo aims to revolutionize the way low-income individuals earn money through art. Inspired by igloos + the Hindi word “Bana” for make, each BanaGloo outlet is a physical dome: low-income individuals walk in to create handiwork for money. Gift shoppers take them home as meaningful purchases. BanaGloo's mission is to unleash creativity and entrepreneurial spirit in society. Replacing the burden of financial assistance such as microcredit and loans, BanaGloo helps low-income individuals earn additional income through the ownership of craft and a recreational activity.

We are thrilled to be hosting an art workshop for the incredible women of VIDYA India's Margam program! Margam empowers women from marginalized communities to realize their greatest creative potential by training them to design products and achieve financial independence. We are so excited to collaborate with them, teach them how to build special handmade pieces (can you guess what we're making?), and deepen the impact of art in our community! 🎁 - #banagloo #empowerment #handmade #art

It's May! And that means we're approaching the mid-year mark! 🚀 We are excited to share that several of our creators have grabbed a paycheck from the sale of their handicrafts—on their very first go at making art! Every piece embodies the physical touch and effort invested by low-income non-artisan individuals in our community. Guided by our commitment to both quality and quirkiness, we've released 17 handmade pieces this spring. Today, our fuelled creators bring along their own friends for creation sessions, who bring along more! We've now taught moulding, painting and pointillism to a dozen incredible creators. Whether you're looking for a gift, souvenir for your home, or a meaningful cause to support, consider buying a BanaGloo product at www.banagloo.com ➡️ "Shop". Selling pan-India! #banagloo #empowerment #uniquegifts #handicrafts
