Community Owned Business (COB)
From conceptualization to production to marketing - women leading the way
The women in the villages have been formed into the concept of Community Owned Business. From conceptualization, to production, to marketing, we help them take ownership of the business and run it to generate income for their groups and each individually.
🍄 Mushroom Production Unit
Started by the women of one of our villages, this unit is now functional and yielding regular income. Our Groups coordinator worked with tribal ladies to discover their potential and help them create sustainable income sources through mushroom cultivation.
🪱 Vermicompost Unit
A small vermicompost setup helps create organic compost, now a saleable product contributing income to the group. This eco-friendly initiative supports sustainable agriculture while generating revenue.
🌱 Microgreens Unit
Microgreens are produced in villages with yields that combat local anemia and malnutrition problems. They serve as both a source of nutrition for the community and income for the groups.
🌿 Herbal Napkins Unit
3 villages engaged in producing handmade herbal sanitary napkins with herbal powder that can reduce PCOD symptoms and enable fertility. Made of cotton, they're healthy and environmentally friendly by being biodegradable.
- ✅ 150 people trained in production
- ✅ Personal use and commercial income generation
- ✅ Ongoing research for scientific validation
🌿 Herbs Production Unit
More than 50 native herbs are collected and processed by our village women trained in herbs collection, processing, packaging, and sales.
