In Pakistan, unemployment is a growing concern, especially among youth, artisans, and rural communities. Vaasli, a unique online marketplace, is on a mission to tackle this by creating real employment opportunities in Pakistan through the promotion of handmade products and local craftsmanship.
Many skilled individuals in Pakistan, particularly artisans, struggle to find a platform where they can sell their handmade goods globally. Vaasli bridges this gap by providing direct market access to local talent, allowing them to showcase their products to international buyers. This not only helps artisans earn but also motivates more individuals to learn and master craft-based skills.
Vaasli isn’t just for established artisans. The platform also offers skill development resources for students and beginners who want to learn crafts like embroidery, pottery, painting, and more. By doing so, Vaasli creates a sustainable income stream for those who previously had limited earning options.
Additionally, Vaasli plans to collaborate with NGOs and training centers to onboard artisans from underrepresented areas, including women and marginalized communities. This approach ensures that the employment impact spreads across rural and urban Pakistan.
By connecting Pakistani artisans with global markets, Vaasli is contributing to Pakistan’s creative economy and helping reduce unemployment. It’s not just a marketplace — it’s a movement to empower individuals through creativity, skills, and global exposure.
If you’re looking for ways to support local artisans and contribute to employment in Pakistan, Vaasli is the platform to watch.
