A Start up around Hand Made Shoes from Pakistan raises 100,000$

[mr.robot]

THE BACKSTORY
Our story begins in the year 2010 in a small village of district Okara, Pakistan, the birthplace of our founders Waqas and Sidra. Where they met with Hussain, a local, who made handmade leather shoes in a small workshop for a living. On visiting the workshop, they felt so proud and intrigued to see the work of the small group of talented craftsmen.

But everything was not going well. They learned that Hussain’s craft as well as other shoemakers in the region were at the risk of extinction because of the lack of essential resources and demand in the local market - all the consequence of mass production. Waqas left his college and Sidra had to shrug off the traditional gender biases in the society to work towards turning this craft into a world renowned brand. They were determined to make this craft known to the world.

Since then there has been no looking back. After making and selling shoes in small quantities around the globe, and facing many successes and numerous failures, the team decided to launch Markhor with the help of backers from Kickstarter.

I heard the story before, even there are many hard-worker having unique ideas struggling in our society, and noone (including Govt) is doing something for the betterment and growth of their work.
