Thank you for the donations of 15788 USD . Our women vegetable club is successfully gowing and is in its 4th year with more application have been received for the loan to start the vegetable farming.

The women groups have recently sown cucumber,  capsicums, bitter gourd beans and turnips. Selling their first cycle to the markets, they have earned quite a good profit of  (2000 per day) . Two of the groups have sown  Apple Gourd along with the corriander which has provided them mild profit. With the arrival of the COVID- 19 , the demand went lower therefore the prices of the vegtables dropped consistently.  

As with the lockdown coming to ease, the demand is getting higher and with that the income too. The beneficiaires are very happy and excited. They are paying back the installments on time and beleive to continue to develop it by acquiring more land in near future. Few beneficiaries have asked for the loan amount again after succcessfully completing the loan cycle.

The women who already got the loan have sown radish and turnips. Selling its first cycle to the local markets has given them quite a good profit (2000 per day) . The previous vegetable was Apple Gourd but accoding to them , it didnt give them the good profit. One the one side of the land, they have sown peas which is also expected to give them a handsome profit as the demand is high in the market.
