Livelihoods & Entrepreneurship

Sheep Rearing

Under income generation programme we have supported many landless highly vulnerable families in Devipatnam, Rampachodavaram and Gangavaram mandals in East Godavari District of A.P with one sheep unit per family since 1998.  Each unit contains [10 female plus one male sheep] costing Rs.25000/-. With sheep units,  these families have completely depended on sheep and rearing them in the nearby forest and improved their progeny of the sheep and the number of sheep increased to 100…150……200  in each unit [ 10 female + 1 male ] as female sheep go on delivering lambs every year and in each delivery, each sheep delivers 1 to 3 lambs. Hence their progeny goes on increasing hence on each unit one family can happily depend throughout their lifetime as they sell the sheep when it becomes a well-grown sheep and earn money.

Support for Broomstick Making

Under income generation programme we have supported many landless vulnerable widows separately with Rs.5000/- per person to make and sell brooms in Devipatnam, Rampachodavaram Mandals since 1998 in East Godavari District of A.P. They collect coconut leaves from coconut trees from the nearby villages and process the leaves and make the brooms, and also collect natural fibre from the plants from the forest and make fibre brooms and sells both of them in the nearby shandy market. With our small support, many landless widows developed this broom business in Devipatnam, Rampachodavaram  Mandals in East Godavari District of A.P
