The Batik section was started in 1987 as a source of employment for the numerous leprosy patients and physically handicapped in the surrounding area. Although our Medical Program has eradicated leprosy from the surrounding communities, the Batik section continues to provide employment opportunity to many poor men and women. We have inland and overseas market for our products. Fair Trade organizations are supporting to give employment opportunity to these poor people. This has become an income - generating unit that provides much needed funds to support our Administration & programmes Children's Villages and Outreach Housing Programs

The Batik department uses natural dyes and other natural materials in an effort to remain environmentally conscious. The wax used in the process is collected and re-used to help keep manufacturing and dying process economically viable.

The designs produced follow patterns designed by local artists and students, but customers can specify custom designs, which we are more than happy to accommodate.
