Selling goat milk soap at 14,000 feet
As regular transport remains a challenge in Ladakh’s mountains, a pastoral women’s cooperative uses social media, local networks, and homestays to sell handmade goat milk soap.
Chamba Dolkar is the president of Lalungma Dairy Unit, a women-led dairy cooperative in Gya-Meru, Ladakh. She is a resident of Gya village, and runs a local homestay.
