Grassroots:


Environmental degradation has led to a significant decline in the quality of life for mountain communities. The Pan Himalayan Grassroots Development Foundation (Grassroots), a non-profit voluntary organization, works in the central and western Himalayan states of Uttarakhand and Himachal Pradesh to promote sustainable, self-reliant development at the village level. The emphasis is on self-help participation working across the integrated issues of water & sanitation, renewable energy, community forestry, sustainable agriculture and enterprise development.

Umang:


A lot of us might never be able to image how disruptive forest degradation can be while some out there are directly facing the consequences of it, much like the farmer groups of Ranikhet. Heavy deforestation has led to not just financial difficulties but has broken families as well.

Through this initiative, more than 1500 women are engaged in improving the quality of their life through sales of food products like honey, pulses, dry fruits, pickles and much more. Thanks to the effort of Umang, these women have learnt agriculture and food processing skills. More importantly, they have found a voice and a sense of ownership as shareholders of their own company.
