The Livelihood Development (Women Empowerment) program supports women from low-income families, especially those with school-going children. Its main aim is to help them increase their income and become self-reliant.
For this, the project offers loans at a low interest rate of 1% to grow ornamental and air plants. Women also receive training in planting and caring for these plants, as well as consultancy support to continue and expand planting as a small business. The program encourages entrepreneurship, helping women move towards becoming confident business owners.
In addition, Self Help Groups (SHGs) are formed to give women a support system and strengthen their collective efforts. The program also focuses on improving life skills, promoting mindfulness, and building happy family environments.
Through this initiative, women are empowered to improve their lives, support their families, and contribute to stronger communities.
