Rural women and people with disabilities remain excluded from economic participation in many ways. Formation of Self Helf Groups is a major approach used by Aaina to facilitate target population work as a single unit with greater bargaining power.
In the year 2017 we came into contact with the women of G.Nuagaon of Bhanjanagar and started the process of making Union in this village and 40 women came forward and became members in the SEWA Union. Regular meeting and interaction was going on with the union members and also livelihood and skill training programme was also provided to all the members on Organic farming and cow rearing.
Aaina has organized a training on goat rearing in Ganjam in collaboration with SEWA (Self Emplyed Women’s Association), in Ganjam.
Aaina had conducted training on organic farming in SAMBHAV, Nayagarh and 2 women from this village attended this training. They were highly influenced and took initiative of organic farming as they have land and there is irrigation facility nearby. During the month of November 2018 both the women started cabbage and bitter guard cultivation in their own 1 acre land. By the end of January 2019 they got Rs 20,000 as profit, they will receive another 20,000 each by the end of February.
Currently we are discontinuing with the current project, just to relaunch this initiative with a new objective and scope. We plan to incorporate financial and digital skill building of women and PWD.
