Rise Against Hunger India

Women like Shanti from Chhota village in Jharkhand, hailing from the Paharia tribe and classified as Particularly Vulnerable Tribal Group (PVTG), are now torchbearers 🏅of hygiene practices in their communities. What began as part of counselling sessions under our Mother and Child Health & Nutrition program has now become a regular practice. Shanti shares, "Before joining the program, no one in my community paid much attention to hygiene. But after realizing the importance of washing hands with soap 🧼 for my child’s health, I now make it a point to practice it, and even my husband follows this habit.” This simple yet impactful practice has brought a significant change, improving the understanding of hygiene and sanitation in several households. Under our program through community kitchens, we nourish lives and empower women 💪 as advocates of health, nutrition🌿 and hygiene while supporting maternal mother and child health as the 1000 Days approach unfolds. Active across 64 locations in Bihar, Jharkhand, Chhattisgarh and Odisha, we serve pregnant women and lactating mothers, and children up to 24 months. As part of this program we provide nutritious cooked meals🍲, promote institutional deliveries 🏥, raise awareness about pre-and postnatal care, and offer counselling sessions. We also connect families to health services and facilitate access to government schemes like- Janani Suraksha Yojana, Pradhan Mantri Matru Vandana Yojana. Additionally, we support Village Health Sanitation and Nutrition Day held monthly, and giving women a platform to voice their concerns. Ensuring a healthier future for pregnant women, lactating mothers and children through sustained efforts. #RiseAgainstHungerIndia #CSR #HygeineForHealth #WomenForChange #GrassrootsImpact #SustainableHealth #WellnessforAll #givingback #empoweringwomen #CaringForAll

The Bonda tribe, one of the particularly vulnerable tribal groups (PVTG) formerly known as primitive tribes, resides in small villages in the hills of Odisha’s #Malkangiri district. The Bonda tribe is renowned for its distinctive culture, unique traditions, and aesthetics. Their art is primarily expressed through decorative tools, utensils, colorful fabrics, and intricate jewelry, particularly crafted by the women. Bonda women excel in creating ornate bead and shell necklaces, bracelets, earrings, head decorations, and other jewelry items. Leveraging this innate skill and craftsmanship, Rise Against Hunger India has launched a special Social Enterprise Development (SED) project. This initiative aims to sharpen their design and production skills, scaling up the production of marketable items that can provide a steady income source for the Bonda women. Approximately 150 women have enrolled in the SED program. Earlier this month, over 30 participants showcased their skills and received training in a product development workshop in the Bonda hills, creating multiple items to be assessed by a master craftsman with expertise in quality product design. A market survey has been conducted to assess the potential of various products. A producers' collective has already been formed to manage the production, sale and profit sharing process for the members. #Empowerment #SustainableDevelopment #RiseAgainstHungerIndia #SocialEnterprise #BondaTribe #IndigenousArt

Good health is the key to a prosperous nation. Recently, Rise Against Hunger India in association with Community Health Centre, Chandan block, Bihar organised a Rural Health Camp.

Pramila from Bandiguda, Odisha once found it difficult to make ends meet by selling seasonal fruits. After joining Rise Against Hunger India’s farming training program, she gained knowledge about organic farming and the concept of a kitchen garden. Upon completing her training, we provided her with seeds and compost to start her own garden. Today, her efforts have flourished beyond the kitchen garden. She has expanded her activities to her farmland, successfully cultivating a variety of organic vegetables. We are happy to see Pramila’s journey toward becoming self-reliant. #RiseAgainstHunger #RiseTogether #OrganicFarming #WomenInAgriculture
