Introduction A stable income transforms lives. But in rural India, irregular jobs, seasonal farming, and lack of market access keep millions in poverty. Sarala Foundation helps individuals build sustainable and dignified livelihoods.
The Livelihood Challenge
- Agricultural Dependency: Over 70% depend on farming with no crop diversification.
- Lack of Skill Training: Youth have no access to modern skill sets.
- No Market Linkage: Products made locally don’t find buyers.
What We Do
- Skill Development Centers: Tailoring, welding, food processing.
- Support for Entrepreneurs: Microloans, branding, and marketing.
- Farmers’ Collectives: Training in sustainable agriculture, organic farming.
- Digital Marketplaces: Selling products online with fair pricing.
Impact So Far
- 15,000 individuals trained in 25 vocations.
- 80% job placement or self-employment rate.
- 60 farmer groups earning 2x their earlier income.
Stories of Change Sunil, a farmer from Jharkhand, transitioned to organic farming with our help. Today, he exports turmeric and mentors other farmers.
Our Vision for the Future We plan to create India’s largest rural livelihood network, connecting artisans and farmers to global markets.
