Despite rapid development in India, millions of people struggle to earn a decent, regular income, falling below the internationally recognised poverty line of USD $3.00 a day. Women and children in rural, marginalised communities are particularly disadvantaged by poverty, slipping through the net of Government and NGO services and suffering from food insecurity, poor health and lack of education. Our programmes aim to reverse this with opportunities to create sustainable livelihoods.

We have developed four agri-based programmes to alleviate crushing poverty in marginalised communities in rural India. We provide the tools & training to develop income-generating enterprises from poultry, goats, fish and sustainable agriculture. We target women in particular, giving them agency and financial security. When women earn, they prioritise the family by providing better food, clothing and access to education for their children and this outcome meets our mission and charitable goals.
