The project consists of two key components. First, we support families engaged in self-employment by enhancing their income-generating activities, which include home gardening, family workshops, and nurseries.In the second component, we visit villages to engage with the community, including self-help groups, youth, and local institutions like temples and kindergartens. This provides volunteers with the chance to share their lives, cultures, and experiences with the locals while fostering meaningful connections within the community.
