Aadivasi Welfare Foundation

The project endeavours to foster sustainable change in East Singhbhum district, Jharkhand, by planting tree saplings, rejuvenating water bodies, and providing art and handicraft training, along with free health checkups to tribal families. Situated in an area prone to human-elephant conflicts, the project aims to densify elephant corridors, creating protected areas for wildlife. It addresses shrinking food resources by planting trees to reduce conflicts and enhance soil health. Through vocational training, especially in handicrafts, the project empowers rural tribal communities, promoting economic stability and cultural preservation.

The project aims to restore degraded areas near the Simlipal Tiger Reserve in Odisha by planting saplings and creating forest corridors for rare black tigers. It empowers tribal communities, especially women, through vocational training and skill development, promoting sustainable agriculture and income diversification. By planting 1 lakh saplings, the project aims to enhance wildlife habitats, reduce human-wildlife conflict, and support local agriculture. Direct employment opportunities are provided throughout the plantation process, fostering sustainable livelihoods, while vocational training preserves cultural heritage and traditional crafts. Additionally, fishery production ponds enable additional income generation for local communities.
