Restoring Livelihoods For People Affected By Leprosy & Other Disabilities And Migrant Laborers

Those affected by leprosy and other disabilities who had their own enterprises/training to start their enterprises are currently struggling to manage their day to day expenses of their families. Many of their businesses (grocery shops, tea stalls, vegetable & fruit marts, and agriculture) have closed due to the nation-wide lockdown and restrictions and lack of capital to revive it once unlock has been initiated. 

The project intends to provide sustainable livelihood opportunities to the people affected by leprosy, other disabilities and migrant labourers who have either lost or are unable to initiate a livelihood due to the Global Pandemic. The project will provide adequate skills and knowledge, business management skills, capital support and needed handholding once the business is initiated. 

Livelihood options that will be explored and initiated will ensure that they do not harm the environment but consciously promote environmental sustainability. For example, we are in the business of eco-friendly products such as Fibre, Coir and Areca Nut plate making from the waste to plants. The project will thus enable beneficiaries to secure a regular income and also mitigate rural migration due to changes in lifestyle from enterprises and livelihood promotions.
