Launched in January 2018, project Samruddhi aims to develop, train and empower Adivasi women of the neglected border villages between Maharashtra and Gujarat, in Dadra Nagar Haveli (DNH). Women in these communities traditionally have few earning opportunities and have suffered exploitation at the hands of employers.
ACT, through Premankur as our implementation partner, provides experiential training, including field visits to successful concerns, on dairy farming, poultry farming, vermi-compost, tailoring, and organic vegetable farming. We also conduct activities to build confidence and assertiveness and assist the women in developing links to relevant markets.
We have seen considerable increases in the women’s earnings, in some cases to Rs. 15,000 per month, which gives stability and certainty for them throughout the year. Our aspiration is that these economically empowered women can transform their society from the inside, ensuring their children’s education and developing their communities by participating in village decisions.
Sponsor a year’s experiential training for an Adivasi woman to become an independent earner @ Rs. 15,000
