Medication and food will be affordable after farmers complete textile training

The SUVAS community of poor farmers in Surendranagar, a village in Gujarat, India, have come together to improve their livelihoods by developing their textile and garments. At the moment they have little access to buyers, and because they are so poor, they cannot travel to the city to sell their goods. Lack of income makes it difficult for them to pay for their medications, food and general living.

Shanti has partnered with SUVAS in order to help the farmers receive training for the design of sellable textiles and garments. Once the quality of goods is checked, we will help them sell their goods online and all proceeds will go back to them.

Your donation, MSAF, Shari, Sri, and Digvijay, gives them a chance to raise their entire community out of poverty in a sustainable way. This will be done in such a way that they maintain their dignity and develop a feeling of ownership and well-being.
