Rural Renaissance

Transformation that lasts from one generation to the next

Transformation
Triumph

Our work with women and rural communities has created opportunities to transform stranded India. Rural women begin to believe that a better life is possible and become more involved in decision-making. The impact is evident in reduced poverty, stable incomes, improved health and education, the emergence of agri-entrepreneurs and increased rural employment. This transformation lasts from one generation to the next, making it truly regenerative.

Stories from the field

Stories from the field

Vashni is a part of a self-help group in her village in Madhya Pradesh. As part of a government program to encourage livelihoods, TRI was able to help her get black hens, which are of high value in the poultry industry. Demand for the local black breed, Kadaknath, has surged in recent years as it’s valued for its low-fat, high protein content as well as its medicinal properties.
