In India, over 40 million internal migrants are women, many of whom migrate to urban areas seeking better economic opportunities but often encounter insecure, low-wage jobs with limited long- term growth. These conditions, combined with the lack of access to sustainable livelihood options, leave migrant women vulnerable to economic instability and environmental challenges in urban settings.
Project BHARAN POSHAN addresses these challenges by equipping urban migrant women with essential green skills that lead to stable, eco-friendly livelihoods.
Through hands-on training in urban farming, composting, waste management, and upskilling on the products like ‘EcoCrafted’ and ‘Circular Creations’, this project fosters self-reliance by providing sustainable career paths in rapidly growing cities.
This approach not only meets immediate economic needs but also supports India’s sustainability objectives. For instance, through training sessions on urban agriculture and vertical farming techniques, BHARAN POSHAN reduces dependence on extended food supply chains, thereby lowering carbon emissions and strengthening food security.
Similarly, India generates approximately 62 million tonnes of waste annually; waste management skills empower women to reduce urban waste and create valuable resources, promoting both environmental impact and community wellness.
Through Project BHARAN POSHAN, SAMVAW Foundation aims to uplift and empower migrant women as leaders in green, sustainable living.
Focused on migrant women, BHARAN POSHAN equips participants with sustainable, green skills like urban farming and waste management, providing pathways to stable, environmentally conscious livelihoods in urban centres.
Join us in creating brighter, eco-friendly futures for women and their communities.
