Ecopowerment

“Empowering vulnerable communities to become self-reliant”

Our ecopowerment program focuses on empowering vulnerable communities from rural areas by enabling them to participate, contribute and benefit from the growth process. Women and men in rural areas are vulnerable and lack financial access to produce, process and market their farm and non-farm products. The primary focus of the program is to support farmer producer organisations, women led self-help groups, artists and artisan communities, and other vulnerable groups to access finance to produce quality products, value add and market their products in the traditional and e-commerce platforms to earn maximum economic benefit.
