COMMUNITY SPEAK

“I had a fantastic journey working with Mukesh and his team on our Gender Disaggregated Data project. They were always proactive and brought many exciting ideas, making our work in Southern India smooth and hassle-free. Their commitment to the project is commendable, and it's evident that they possess extensive experience in gender-related issues. Working with an external consultancy is essential for aligning our perceptions of the project, as it helps ensure the successful delivery of initiatives that align perfectly with the Traidcraft team. What stood out to me was The team's genuine commitment, their ability to handle feedback positively, and their consistent demonstration of flexibility. made it easy to work with their team, and I commend their facilitation skill in breaking down complex topics into simple, understandable terms that everyone could grasp easily. Partnering with Traidcraft has been a rewarding experience, and I look forward to future collaborations.”
