      Summary

      Odisha houses few of the most financially backward families in India. Communities from Chandabali district of Bhadrak in Odisha slums lack even the basic amenities such as personal water connections and toilets.

      A typical household in this setup consists of four members on an average- wife and husband, and their two children. The women of these households are homemakers, or are engaged in small-businesses such as tailoring, incense stick making, petty shops or beauty parlours, while the men are usually away, working in nearby towns and cities as carpenters, drivers, construction workers and daily wage labourers. The women and men of these households together are able to bring in no more than $90-$150 per month.

      In spite of the hardships that accompany such low incomes, the people of Chandabali have not relinquished their dreams and aspirations. Milaap, through its partnership with Gram Utthan, will provide 50 women with funds to expand or setup their tailoring, incense stick making, petty shops, beauty parlours, grocery stores, dairy business etc.

      Local partner Milaap provides a loan to Gram Utthan that must be repaid in 24 months.
