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!

🌸A STORY OF LOVE, DEDICATION & THATTA KEDONA🌸
We are honored to share a very special interview conducted by Guftaar HD, hosted by Mr. Salman Khan, with Dr. Senta Siller, lovingly known as the “Mother of Dolls.”🎥
Recorded in 2023 in Lahore, this heartfelt conversation captures Dr. Senta Siller’s inspiring journey and the story behind the Thatta Kedona project, which she initiated in the early 1990s. In this interview, she speaks openly about her lifelong commitment, her vision, and—most importantly—her deep love for the village of Thatta Ghulamka Dhiroka, District Okara, Pakistan.
This interview is more than a story; it is a testament to compassion, cultural connection, and decades of dedication to the people of Thatta.
We invite everyone to watch, listen, and share this remarkable story. 💙

A JOURNEY DOWN MEMORY LANE …
In November 2015, Thatta Kedona proudly took part in the Arts and Crafts Exhibition at Lok Virsa, Islamabad. This special moment was beautifully captured by Fouzia Ali from Dunya News TV. We’re sharing this video report from nearly a decade ago to revisit the memories and celebrate the continued importance of handmade dolls in the lives of young girls — how they play, dream, and grow with them… until these dolls become cherished memories of childhood. 🧸💫
Grateful to all who have supported us on this journey!
