The online pre-sale campaign for crochet dolls crafted by Manipur’s internally displaced women exceeded expectations by garnering $11,000, officials said on Saturday.
A couple of months after the ongoing ethnic conflict broke out in Manipur on May 3, a Singapore-based brand named 1 Million Heroes launched ‘Stitching Hope’, an initiative to equip the violence-displaced women with skills in the Japanese craft art of amigurumi.
