This group of women are from a "Dalit" community, which is a low-caste, "untouchable" part of the wider community. They are not educated and their only livelihood is agriculture.

This project will help generate income locally and, through training and ongoing support from our Global Family team members, the women will be educated about the risks of trafficking and exploitation. The women meet every month to discuss ideas of how to keep children safe as well as their savings program (for example, $1 per month).
