Help Rural Women Gain Essential Business Skills

Dear GlobalGiving Supporters,

We would like to extend our sincere gratitude for your support of the Mann Deshi  Business School program which also includes Goat Paravet and Goat Rearing Program, which has enabled us to provide thousands of recipients with viable economic possibilities. The Mann Deshi Goat Paravet and Goat Rearing Program, works towards encouraging farmers to adopt goat rearing as a source of income. Our sheli sakhis (goat para veterinarians) efficiently handle primary care, vaccinations, and artificial insemination on goats as part of the program. One of our beneficiaries, Shankar says, "Once, my 80 sheep accidentally ate something poisonous. By dusk, every sheep began to quiver. I contacted sheli sakhi from Mann Deshi. She reached immediately with another sheli sakhi. They both went to Piliv village to purchase medications. Five sheep had passed away by the time they got back. The remaining sheep who had fainted were given medication. The sheep then gradually began to become conscious.” GlobalGiving’s kind assistance has made it possible for the Mann Deshi Goat Rearing Program to carry on in this path and serve the beneficiaries.

Thank you so much for all our supporters!!!

Dear GlobalGiving Supporters,

'My chemical-free oils and other organic products will benefit peoples’ health'

Sonali is the founder of the company Shrisiddha Naturals that manufactures and sells cold-pressed oil. She got the idea to start this company when her mother-in-law had cancer, and she faced a lot of difficulties getting chemical-free foods and oils. Sonali had to import these products, and that's when she decided she would manufacture chemical free oils and other organic products in her area and make them available to people in Mhaswad!

Sonali gained the scientific knowledge. "I needed through recognised courses on how to make organic and natural products, and started the business to help my community. I believe that my chemical-free oils and other organic products will benefit peoples’ health," says Sonali.

Thank you so much for all our supporters!!!
