Baburam and Arjun are co-owners of Tibet Wears. Often it is just the two of them working to fill orders and so they are not often involved in employing someone else. If they have more work than what the two of them can do they employ workers on a piece rate system where the worker determines the price and how much they want to work. Their normal work day is 8 hours. If someone is interested in working with them a lot then they will try to provide as much work as they can for the person and provide holiday leave. Mostly, however, it is just Baburam and Arjun. They work well together This is a tiny micro-enterprise where two people have mutually benefited from each other’s talents.
In 2015, Baburam was able to purchase a plot of land and complete a home, helping to secure the future of his family. We are so happy to celebrate this milestone with Baburam, a direct result of his tireless work. Furthermore, we are happy to report that his home survived the earthquakes of 2015 without damage! The rural family homes of both Baburam and Arjun did not fare as well unfortunately. Both men migrated to Kathmandu from villages very near the epicenter of the April 25th, 2015 earthquake. Conscious Connections Foundation was able to provide tin and other immediate relief to both men’s villages thanks to our many generous donors.
