Auspice Social is a purpose driven social enterprise perusing meaningful profits. We produce 35 varieties of naturally dried culinary herbs, spices and seasonings. Our products are handcrafted and are free from any artificial additives, colors, preservatives, essence or MSG. All our products are processed, cleaned, sorted, packaged and labeled by persons with autism.
Unlike most others approaches, these products are not created for the disabled but created by persons with disabilities for the society at large. It is a simple product with potentially profound impact on spreading the awareness about possibilities for autism.
By choosing one of these products, our ethical, ecological, and rational customers are providing an opportunity for gainful employment to someone with Autism and strengthen their ability to contribute to the society.
We are based in New Delhi, India
Purpose
Autism is a neurological disorder that affects nearly 1% of the world’s population. What causes autism is still not known, and there is no cure for autism. It is a lifelong condition that affects how a person interacts with and experiences the world around them. The vast majority, 84%, of adults with autism are either unemployed or underemployed, despite their ability, desire, and willingness to engage in meaningful work. Unemployment rates among adults with autism are double compared to other disabilities.
We provide hands-on training and skill development to adults with autism. Training programs vary between 3 weeks to 6 months, depending on individual needs. All training necessarily culminate in employment with Auspice Social.
By our inclusive business model, our work supports the principles of “Equal pay for equal work” and “Reasonable Accommodation” as defined in the UN Convention on Rights of People with Disabilities (CRPD). We are also working following UN Sustainable Development Goals:
SDG 8 – Decent Work and Economic Growth,
SDG 9 – Industry, Innovation, and Infrastructure,
SDG 10 – Reduced Inequality.
