We work on women empowerment by equipping rural women with skills that enable them to become self-reliant and financially independent. Through tailoring training, financial literacy, and SHG formation, we support women in building sustainable livelihoods. Our efforts across Saundatti, Ramdurg, and Gokak Taluks help women access bank linkages, government schemes, and income-generating opportunities. We also work on enhancing their confidence and leadership through regular group meetings and awareness sessions. Women empowerment is at the heart of our mission to uplift rural communities.
Our main work focuses on utilizing locally available goat hair to produce wool, which is then crafted into blankets and other woolen products. This traditional skill not only preserves local heritage but also creates sustainable livelihood opportunities for rural artisans. Through training and value addition, we help improve product quality and marketability. Women and youth are actively involved in this eco-friendly enterprise. This initiative supports income generation while promoting self-reliance and resource efficiency.
