Mukti Datta & Mandakini Women Weavers | 2016 McNulty Prize Laureate

In the wake of India's devastating floods in 2013, thousands of women were left without hope, and without any earning member in their families, with as many as three generations of men lost in the floods.

Meet Mukti Datta, a rural development advocate who has pioneered a self-sustaining, replicable model of weaving cooperatives that is rapidly scaling across India's Himalayas and transforming the roles of women across the region.

This is part of a four-part series spotlighting the 2016 McNulty Prize Laureates.
