Community Institutions & Livelihoods

Community Led Livelihoods and Microfinance

Through community-led groups and business development

In rural Rajasthan, families depend on small farms, livestock, and daily wages to survive. Many women join Self-Help Groups (SHGs) to save money and get loans for their farms or small businesses. CmF helps these groups grow stronger and manage themselves. We also support farmers, livestock keepers, and young people to improve their skills, earn more, and sell their products. This helps families move from just getting by to building a better future.
