What people say about us
Its nice to be be back for this visit with Norbert. His efforts in putting up the pump house and the museum are commendable. One sees the integration of the project with the village! Once again we encouraged the people to keep the tradition of building with mud alive. It's a great learning - life coming back to the future!

First of all it’s helping women to earn their livelihood besides working for emancipation of women in a rural area. I bought a doll from an exhibition held in Lahore and simply fell in love with their products. Hats off to this organisation. God bless!

His heartfelt words and these wonderful photos truly capture the spirit of the place. Have a look and enjoy!

💝"Mother of Dolls" in Thatta Kedona's new SHOWROOM💝
Back in Germany, Dr. Norbert Pintsch shared that Dr. Senta Siller is still glowing from her Pakistan visit—deeply touched by the warmth, love, and incredible hospitality she received.
What stayed with her most? Thatta Ghulamka Dhiroka and the new Thatta Kedona showroom—a powerful reminder that the seed she once planted hasn’t just survived, it’s thriving, growing, and bearing fruit. 🌱✨

A WEEK OF INSPIRATION ACROSS PAKISTAN 🇵🇰🇩🇪
The recent week-long visit of German artist, designer, and social worker Dr. Senta Siller was a truly memorable journey of creativity, connection, and purpose.
From Lahore to Islamabad, Okara, and most importantly the heart of her decades-long mission — the village of Thatta Ghulamka Dhiroka — this poster captures powerful moments of her engagements, meetings, and interactions with communities.
Her unwavering dedication to empowering rural women through art, design, and sustainable livelihoods continues to leave a lasting impact. Each image reflects not just visits, but meaningful exchanges, shared visions, and a legacy that keeps growing.
A week that once again strengthened bonds, inspired minds, and celebrated a lifelong commitment to social change.
