"Silaiwali," a term with its roots in Hindi, evokes the imagery of a skilled "seamstress" or a "female tailor." It is also the namesake of a remarkable social enterprise nestled in the heart of New Delhi. At Silaiwali, the nimble fingers of Afghan women, finding refuge in India, breathe new life into discarded fabric. In a beautiful act of upcycling, these talented artisans transform this once-neglected material into exquisite dolls, each a testament to their craft and resilience.
