Livelihood Programme

Micro income generating livelihood activities would be introduced to target beneficiary families ensuring them a sustainable income with profit margins adequate to meet the basic household needs. This programme would assist people affected through floods, cyclones, fire & other natural disasters as well as those who faced personal emergencies such as accidents, illnesses, desertion and divorce.

The purpose of this program is to enhance the investment capacity of low income families in the target villages through micro income generating activities which would ensure sustainable income with profit margins adequate to meet the basic household needs.
Although providing financial assistance and life style opportunities require large sums of money, we are confident that this programme would enhance the household incomes of the programme beneficiaries.
