Women's Empowerment & Livelihood

2020 - continuing

Assam - Meghalaya

With the COVID19 pandemic, we realized the need to prioritize livelihood and social protection, together with our health activities. Our consultants in Assam and Meghalaya have been working with marginalised and remote communities in districts of Assam and Meghalaya and supporting livelihood initiatives taken for them.

Activities

Our team has been  participating in raising awareness and attending workshops for promotion of self help groups for women farmers, linking to social protection schemes and government financial institutions. In addition, our team is also addressing violence against women and children and focusing on the role of the government in creating a safe and enabling environment 

We are also supporting Assam TB survivor network in rendering psycho-social support and empowering them toward better access to health services and employment
