Up North Community is a community-led initiative created with the belief that creativity can change lives. We design and sell handmade craft products made from recycled paper scraps, turning waste into something meaningful and impactful.
UP NORTH is an environmental restoration initiative led by
a vision deeply connected to the land and people of
Kashmir.
We aim to address environmental degradation,
economic disparity, and the gradual loss of cultural
identity through an integrated, community-driven
approach.
UP NORTH envisions a transformed Kashmir where
nature, culture, and communities thrive together.
Our vision is to position Kashmir as a model of ecological
resilience, cultural richness, and sustainable
development.
Unique Quality: Each piece is often one-of-a-kind, showcasing the artisan’s creativity and personal touch. Sustainability: Many artisans use eco-friendly materials.
Up North Community began with a simple belief: that creativity can make a real difference. We are a group of local makers and volunteers who transform recycled paper scraps into beautiful, handcrafted products — because we care about the environment and we care about people.
Every item we make reflects sustainability, care, and craftsmanship. Instead of letting paper go to waste, we give it new life as meaningful, eco-friendly creations that people love to use and share.
Our mission is to support both people and the planet by:
Promoting sustainable craftsmanship using recycled materials
Reducing waste through creative reuse
Donating 100% of our sales revenue to support those in need
Empowering our community through art, purpose, and impact
We are not here for profit — every purchase directly becomes a donation to a charitable cause that strengthens communities and helps people who need support.
