Formation Carpets is a hand-knotted rug manufacturer based in Kathmandu, Nepal, which has been in business since 1990. Formation Carpets exports hand-made rugs to North America and Europe. The activities of Sulochana Shrestha-Shah, the founder of Formation Carpets, was one of the contributing factors that led to the establishment of the Rugmark label (now known as Goodweave) in Nepal in 1995, the label that guarantees that no child has been employed in any process related to the production of the rug, including dyeing and spinning of the yarn. Rugs with exclusive designs and of outstanding quality, balanced with the fact that these works of art are produced by employees in sound working conditions, and are environment friendly, is the mode in which Formation Carpets operates. Sulochana Shrestha-Shah was awarded the 1997 Advocates for Human Rights Award (* see URL below) for her continuous spearheading of social issues from the business sector, her work at Formation Carpets, and pushing her motto "business with ethics."* URL: http://www.theadvocatesforhumanrights.org/past_human_rights_award_recipients.html

Prakrity Sessions, not just an electronic music internet radio show, but also a fundraiser for the education of underprivileged children in Nepal. Prakrity started this weekly internet radio show in July 2011 with a goal to raise more awareness of the needs of underprivileged children across the world, and especially in Nepal, where Prakrity is from, and with a focus to raise awareness across a younger audience who caters to electronic music in general (since it's never too early to start).Prakrity has been dj'ing since 2001 and producing electronic music even before that, with his first release having come out in 1999. For his "day job" Prakrity is involved in social entrepreneurship, i.e., running a 20+ year old rug manufacturing family business that focuses on giving back to the community, starting with its employees, by providing countless perks, such as free education for the children of the employees and free health insurance for both the employees as well as their children. The social wing of the family business, Hoste Hainse, a non-profit which manages and oversees all programs run under social entrepreneurship currently runs 4 schools across rural Nepal and is supporting over 2,000 underprivileged children at the present. More information @ www.hostehainse.org.As the years passed and Prakrity found a huge difference in his "customers" between his "day job" and his "night job", he thought it would be important to raise more awareness amongst his "night job" customers, as each and every one of us is human, and we all have an innate desire to help out other human beings, especially less fortunate ones. Hence, starting in the summer of 2011, Prakrity has been dedicating all his "night job" activities towards raising awareness of the needs of underprivileged children, especially in Nepal.More info @ www.prakrity.com
