We will provide food processing equipment like meat grinder, electric oven, vacuum sealer, gas stove and small pressure cooker to poor women in order to improve value to their raw materials and sell processed food to neighbors and on-line and in so doing improve their income and become independent despite the challenges they are facing because of the Coronavirus pandemic.
The Coronavirus pandemic has taken its toll in the lives and livelihood of poor women and poverty and misery is hounding them. Raw farm products are sold at very low prices due to the disruption of the food supply chain. However an opportunity arises by the processing of food products into high-value foods and with the availability of common-service-facility which the women can use the value of their products will increase dramatically fueling improvement in income and well-being.
This project will solve the lack of processed food for sale in the market due to community lock-downs and travel restrictions. This poses a tremendous opportunity for women entrepreneurs to increase their income and livelihood by processing raw farming produce and selling these to the local market.
Well-being of communities assume paramount importance when the situation is beginning to normalize. Thanks to the concerted effort of local and national authorities and the citizenry, situation in a lot of places is beginning to normalize and the economic need especially for small businesses takes center stage.
