Empowering Women Through Handicrafts: Thatta Kedona Website Launched
Monday, May 12, 2025
We are pleased to announce the launch of the new website for our village handicrafts project, Thatta Kedona, https://thattakedona.net. This platform will serve as a window into our village, its people, their activities, and the various community welfare initiatives organized by the local NGO, Anjuman-e-Falah-Aama (AFA).
In addition to sharing information, the website also functions as an e-commerce platform, offering detailed descriptions—including photos, materials, sizes, and pricing—of our ethnic Pakistani dolls and other beautifully handcrafted items made by the talented girls and women of our village.
At this joyful milestone, we fondly remember the German artist, Graphic Designer and Anthropologist Dr. Senta Siller, who founded this remarkable project over three decades ago and will be celebrating her 90th birthday this year. We also pay tribute to her husband, Dr. Norbert Pintsch, who stood beside her throughout this inspiring journey.
Our heartfelt thanks go to the many volunteers from around the world—especially from Germany—who visited our hamlet, Thatta Ghulamka Dhiroka, in District Okara, Pakistan, and generously shared their knowledge and expertise with the local community.
We warmly invite you to visit the website and share your feedback with us.
