Children GOOD project aims to equip the children of devadasis with skills so that they can have alternate means of livelihood. Rani is just one such example. More power to you, Rani! #ChildrenGOOD
Alternative means of livelihood are provided to the families living in the MICA Belt not only in agro-based, livestock-based, and petty business industries but also by establishing nutrition gardens in their backyard, providing the added benefit of good health!
Since its inception in 2019, the IMAGE Next project has been building a movement of early-married girls who are being trained to advocate for their rights and spread awareness in their communities. #IMAGEIndia
Providing alternative means of livelihood is crucial to help the children of devadasis become independent and empowered. Here are a few of the skills they are trained in! #ChildrenGOOD
The Children GOOD project sensitises relevant stakeholders such as temple priests and the larger community, on the rights of Devadasis and their protection systems, to create a community that prevents dedications and ensures that the Devadasis and their children are protected.
The GOOD project ensures access to alternate means of livelihood for devadasi mothers which has led to an average increase of 15%-20% in their household incomes!
Where there is a will, there is a way!
