Traditional basket-weaving as a calm, hands-on vocational pathway under staff guidance.
About this pathway
How the work unfolds
Koodai Pinnuthal (basket weaving) is a traditional, hands-on vocational pathway under staff guidance. Beneficiaries prepare materials, practise weaving techniques, and finish useful baskets at a calm, sustainable pace.
Craft work strengthens fine-motor skill, patience, and pride in finished goods. It offers a quieter alternative to machine-based pathways while still building routine, mentoring relationships, and a sense of contribution.
