Dear GlobalGiving Supporters,
‘I'm popular as the 'goat doctor' in my community’, says Shobha
The Mann Deshi Foundation has employed Ms Shobha for more than four years as a shelisakhi, or goat paravet. She provides primary care, vaccinations, and insemination for goats in roughly twenty to twenty-five settlements. Since starting to work as a shelisakhi, she has been making roughly Rs 15,000 a month. Her self-confidence has increased as a result, and she has gained the respect of her family and neighbors. "I'm popular as the 'goat doctor' in my community,” says Shobha, and continues, "I am happy to report that my artificial insemination on goats has a success rate of roughly 95%.”
Thank you so much to all Mann Deshi Foundations supporters!!!

Dear GlobalGiving Supporters,
Archana in the Fashion Industry - Archana aims to grow her tailoring business and give employment to other women
For many aspiring female entrepreneurs, Kolhapur resident Archana's entrepreneurial experience in the fashion business field can be an inspiration. Since joining, she has gotten the most out of every Mann Deshi Chamber of Commerce program activity. As a result, she has greatly benefited from increased business turnover and overall growth. Archana, who also teaches her trade, has participated in several initiatives, including business-to-business (B2B) meetings, peer networking, advisory and exposure clinics. In addition, Archana obtained the Shop Act for her company and has started advertising her company on WhatsApp and WhatsApp Business. Consequently, her orders rose. Archana borrowed Rs 12 lakhs from the Bank of Maharashtra through Bharatiya Yuva Shakti and used the loan to purchase 10 high-speed sewing machines and expand her business further. With 20 women employees at her company, she has taken part in various shows and values her stall at the weekly market, seeing her monthly earnings reach Rs 60,000. As a result of her achievements as an entrepreneur Archana was awarded the Udyog Ratna Award by the Village Entrepreneurship Development Programme.

Sheli sakhi treating and vaccinating the goat
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!!!
