Project Dhara

Project Dhara is a pioneering social enterprise under Enactus Jesus and Mary College, rooted in the belief that everyone deserves a place in the workforce, especially those who are often overlooked. With a clear dual mission, Dhara stands at the intersection of neurodiversity empowerment and nutritional wellness, crafting healthy cookies while building dignified livelihoods for neurodivergent youth.

At its heart, Dhara is more than a cookie brand. It is a platform for inclusion, skill-building, and acceptance. Our beneficiaries , youth on the autism spectrum undergo inclusive, hands-on training in baking, packaging, and operations. Each cookie made is not only a product of wholesome ingredients, but also of carefully nurtured skills and newfound confidence.

Through successful donation drives, consumer testing, and sold-out stalls, Dhara has already captured the hearts of our early customers. Our products are loved for their taste and respected for the story they carry.

Building Forward

While we currently operate on a modest scale — using rented equipment and limited online platforms — we are ambitious in vision. From festival hampers and sustainable packaging to bulk orders from schools and cafés, Dhara is ready to grow with every opportunity.

With every cookie purchased, you help reshape perceptions, create livelihoods, and champion inclusion.
