This document summarizes the work of an organization over 25 years empowering rural and tribal women in India by addressing factors contributing to their poverty. The organization enhanced production through scientific cultivation methods and value addition, diversified livelihoods through compatible enterprises, and strengthened market linkages. This approach was implemented for lac production, poultry, and goat rearing in Madhya Pradesh and Chhattisgarh, benefiting over 20,000 women. Impacts included increased skills, knowledge, incomes, and decision making power for women as well as environmental benefits from tree planting. The organization aims to further scale up by strengthening monitoring, adding more products, promoting producer groups, and linking women to relevant government schemes.

1 acre trees annually consumes the amount of carbon dioxide equivalent to the Oxygen
annually inhaled by 18 person.
8. Learning and experience
• Strong M&E systems need to be in placed to capture and document changes in people’s
lives

regular and increased flow of income (i.e. tamarind, chironjee, custard apple, drum-
stick, gooseberry, mahua, cashew nuts) along with lac
• Promote entrepreneur /producer group led micro-enterprises in the value chains to ensure
primary value addition
• Promotion of brood farms is must for sustainable lac production

improved feeding practices and plantation of host trees
