In 2003 Kalden Aukatsang was awarded a business start-up grant through Tibet Relief Fund’s youth empowerment programme (now Empowering the Vision). Kalden quickly established a small tailoring centre for sampling and production of export orders – Auka Exports. From humble beginnings with just one client, today Auka Exports has over 15 clientele from across the continents and employs ten people. Ten years on from the youth empowerment programme, we are proud to be working with Kalden to produce some amazing new fold-away backpacks and holdalls.
