FreeSet

For the last 9 months I’ve been working with an organization called FreeSet. David Hussman introduced me to them and I’m really thankful to David for putting me in touch with this wonderful organization. 

FreeSet is very interesting in a lot of ways:

  • They don’t like to be referred as a NGO. NGOs has a sympathy connotation. Freeset is a Fare Trade Business and they are in Business for Freedom. Freedom for the women.
  • They believe in changing the society by being part of the society. It would be easy to take the women out of the society & free them. Living in the same locality & transforming the society is a much more sustainable model. It will changes things fundamentally and provide Freedom from within
  • While ever organization I’ve worked for or consulted for, I’ve begged them to stay small and stay focused. FreeSet is the only exception where I really want them to grow their head count. There are 1000’s of women who need help. Today FreeSet produces Jute Bags and T-Shirts. They surely have the potentially to grow into other business.
Our Philisophy at FreeSet is
Why does every business have to be about Profit? Why can’t it be about the people?
