In yet another event of service to the drought affected
farmers, SSM has ventured into helping
those communities again. But this time, the beneficiaries
are exclusively the women-farmers. The team of SSM has identified the women who
practice farming as their livelihood and own very little piece of land, one or
two acres. All these women are hard working and responsible members in their
families. They tried at their best to pull through the life by utilizing the meager
savings at their Self Help Groups but due to continuous drought for the third
consecutive year, those women were not in a position to spend for pre-monsoon preparations,
seeds and fertilizers any more.
400 such women from various locations, namely village
Sagroli(50), Yesgi (30), Kundalwadi & Atkali (12) from Nanded district and
another 300 from Latur, Parbhani and Hingoli districts were extended financial support associating with local NGO's for the cost on seed, pesticides and Fertilizers.
As always, Caring Friends, Mumbai had a lion’s share of
philanthropy in materializing this human service.
