Faith Singh

Founding Trustee, Jaipur Virasat Foundation, Jaipur
In July 2007 Faith Singh stepped down as managing trustee of the Jaipur Virasat Foundation, a charitable trust, which she had founded in 2002. She now takes a mentorship role. In the past five years, Ms. Singh has positioned JVF to promote values of sustainable development, social inclusiveness, and cultural conservation in its local context. In 1970 Ms. Singh and her husband started Anokhi, a textile company, in Jaipur. It is well known as an alternative role model for good business practices, social entrepreneurship, and for the ongoing revival of traditional textile skills. Faith Singh has led and developed the design department, resources, and archives. She has played a key role in shaping Anokhi's management strategies to support a highly labor intensive business. Between 1975 and 1995, Ms. Singh initiated three educational activities in Jaipur - a playschool, a rurally focused primary school, and a crèche for the employees of Anokhi. Prior to relocating in Jaipur, she worked with a local rural community in Spain and helped to augment their income through cottage industry activity. Ms. Singh studied French and philosophy at Sussex University.
