Support young changemakers in India

Dear generous benefactor,

We are deeply grateful for your large-hearted contribution to Access Agriculture campaign “Support young changemakers in India” on the GlobalGiving platform. The campaign is helping young women embark as entrepreneurs to bring knowledge on nature-friendly farming to their communities using a smart projector containing videos.

• One of the woman-led entrepreneurs has trained rural families in setting up nutri-gardens (an advanced form of kitchen garden) as a source of nutrition and income. This has helped the farm families grow indigenous varieties of vegetables, fruits, herbs and spices, without the use of chemical inputs. This team’s story has been featured in LEISA (a magazine on ecological agriculture) and our publication “Young changemakers.”

• Your support has allowed us to equip a new team led by young women entrepreneurs with a smart projector and digital skills in central India. In the first month, using the smart projector this team has already trained over 80 women farmers in producing organic biofertiliser to improve soil fertility and plant growth. Moreover, the team is earning a small but steady revenue by providing its e-advisory services to other like-minded organisations.

These women changemakers couldn’t have achieved all this without your generous support! We truly can’t thank you enough for helping these young women entrepreneurs make a positive impact on their community.

Sincerely,
