Impact
Every monthly donation empowers more women like Kalki bai
Kalki Bai is a widowed farmer from Surajgarh village. Owing to the poor quality of her crop she could never sell her produce at a good price. This, in turn, meant that she never had enough money to buy seeds.
RBKS provided her with seeds, and constructed a Vermi-compost unit on her field. She was provided training on producing the compost. Exposure trips were conducted for a first-hand experience. Production on her land increased by 25%. She sells her produce at a good price and is able to purchase certified seeds. She also uses the vermin compost from her own unit. She is an expert in seed selection and vermicomposting.
A small intervention like this can transform a life and enhance the quality of our agricultural produce.
