Churiyamai Khukuri Artisans

Today, Dr. Sanjita Sharma, Tulasi Prasad Chudal, and other members of Working Vision’s team in Hetauda, Nepal held a small but very meaningful workshop. This workshop was provided for thirteen artisans who hand manufacture “Khukri,” which are a special type of Nepalese knife. These artisans have significant risk for eye injury from metal shavings, and one participant in this workshop (pictured here) had already lost his eye due to previous work-related trauma. We feel great that our safety glasses will help keep his other eye safe. Click on the image for the un-cropped version.
