Vandanamu Fair Trade imports and sells textile and wood products from South East India. The focus of this enterprise is the fishing village of Chinna Mudaliar Chavadi, near Pondicherry, which was devastated by the tsunami. Here Vandanamu set up a sewing unit, Sathya Handicrafts, to provide training and livelihood for survivors.

They mostly make screen-printed cotton bags, now sold in the UK, Jersey and France. Vandanamu also supports Venkateswara Wood Products, a family business in the same village. With their Fair Trade premiums and substantial donations, these woodworkers have built a two-story workshop, which now also houses the sewing unit.
