Prathibha Bhavan (House of Creativity)

The project aims at giving training to the unemployed youths for self employment through various small scale industries. Its main institution is at Kunnakal, near Muvattupuzha where Prathibha Curry Powder Unit and Electronics Unit are functioning. Prathibha Candles and Prathibha Umbrellas and Prathibha Ready Made Garments are in the stage at Pratheeksha Bhavan. The income generated from the products of Prathibha is utilized entirely for the recurring expenses of our charitable institutions. At present more than one hundred youths are directly employed through these projects.

The goal of the Prathibha Charitable Trust is to provide jobs to the unemployed youth of our society. Participating in the production and distribution of the products of the Prathibha Charitable Trust will be a good source of income for the unemployed young men and women.

The projects undertaken at present by the Prathibha Charitable Trust are described below:

1. Prathibha Curry Powder

This project commenced its operation on September 9, 2002. It produces practically all the curry powders needed for the traditional Kerala dishes and all of them carry the mark of approval of the State Government (Agmark). These curry powders are produced from pure materials of high quality, a fact that results in the excellent taste of the dishes prepared from these powders. We work for a noble cause and its benefits are solely dedicated for humanitarian projects. Hence we maintain only the highest standards in the production of our curry powders. Therefore we are unable to produce curry powders of second quality so as to offer them at lower prices. Our production line also offers pickles and other such products.

2. Prathibha Garments

Our ready-made garment unit started to function in the Pratheeksha Bhavan. The inmates of the Pratheeksha Bhavan have been trained in tailoring and they are working in this unit under the guidance of a master tailor. One objective for their energetic participation in this project is to prove that they too can be contributory members of society working towards the upbuilding of the nation. The sale of the garments made in this center also is a source of sustenance for the inmates as the income goes towards the purchase of their food.

3. Prathibha Candles

Our children of Pratheeksha Bhavan also find enough time to produce candles of various sizes to be used in our churches. We have only recently started this venture but we expect that our Prathibha Candles will be available for distribution in the churches in the immediate future. The enthusiasm of our children in this project is marvelous. You, too, could cooperate with and encourage them by purchasing Prathibha Candles. As in the other projects, the small income derived from this project goes to meeting the daily requirements of the children of Pratheeksha Bhavan and Prathyasa Bhavan.

4. Prathibha Umbrellas

Though some of our children at Pratheeksha Bhavan are otherwise abled, they have varied talents and are strong in spirit. This is easily proved by their amazing skill in producing folding umbrellas (two and three fold) with great efficiency. You too will be able to encourage them by purchasing our Prathibha Umbrellas which will soon be available from our authorized dealers.

5. Prathibha Soaps

Our new venture to produce soaps has already commenced. Our children at Pratheeksha Bhavan are skilled soap-makers too. As with our other products you can rest assured that our soaps are of a high quality and are not aimed at maximizing our profit. Our main objective is charity and to be of service to the community. Here also you can cooperate with us by purchasing your soaps from us.
