Livelihood Promotion of Marginalised Slum Women

All the women in Karimadom slum are now ready! They are ready for any project run by the society as they have assurance that what ever be the micro skill they are trained in, they will surely get an income for their household.

Inspired by a youtube video we thought of mushroom cultivation,  a healthy food alternative as well as a steady income for our women. Our search did not go in vain - we got the right person for the training - a retiree from agricultural univerisity and who had done her doctorate in mushroom cultivation. She develops her own seeds at home. She agree to train our women.

As this cultivation require hygene environment, we thought of initiating the process in our own centre. We got ready a room for the same. Woemen from the slum have been trained and they are in the learning process currently. The initial crop has been taken and the interest level of the women are soaring high!

The next steps will be to cultivate the same in the home environment of the women from the slum. The process has been initiated. Milky mushrooms which can grow in tropical warm climate will be cultivated in the homes of these women.

Thanks for your continued support to sustain our developmental programs in the slum
