Sustainable Livelihood and Nutrition is a human Right!! That's right you heard it well! We are committed to seeing a country that supports the health and well-being of women and girls while embedding economic empowerment and skill development skills in the process. The Food Livelihood and Nutrition Project served as a catalyst for women's and girls' empowerment and development by addressing key aspects of their lives, including nutrition, economic opportunities, skills development, resilience, gender equality, and health. It is an essential intervention that contributes to building more prosperous and sustainable communities. Jumuiya Women Fund we have seen firsthand how women play a crucial role in building resilience at the household and community levels. #documentary #development #womenempowement #SustainableLivelihoods #nutritionmatters #sustainablecommunities

 🌱 Empowering Marginalized Communities through Grassroots Action: A Journey of Hope and Change 🌱 India’s marginalized communities have long faced systemic inequality, but through resilience and strength, they are transforming their futures. One initiative that has made a profound impact is kitchen gardening, allowing families to grow their own fresh, organic produce, improving nutrition, and fostering self-sufficiency. 🌾🌿 Today, 1,500 families are cultivating over 10,000 quintals of vegetables without the use of chemicals, demonstrating the power of community-driven change. Together, we are addressing malnutrition, hunger, and the broader fight for human rights and gender equality. We extend our gratitude to all who have supported this initiative and continue to stand with us on this journey.

Right now, gender experts and activists are gathering at #CSW68 UN Women to agree on actions & investments that can advance #GenderEquality. But why is funding so crucial for defeating gender backlash? 💰 Progressive donors are a lifeline to human rights, feminist and LGBTQI+ organisations, but they don't seem to be a match against the anti-gender juggernaut. In this new paper by IDS-led #CounteringBacklash, Lisa VeneKlasen explores how philanthropic institutions are seeing and responding to anti-gender backlash, and the background dynamic shaping the struggles. Investing in policies and programmes that address #GenderInequalities is widely recognised as a solution to end women's poverty. This is why collaboration among feminist activists and organisers is crucial. #InvestInWomen Read about what donors should be doing in the wake of anti-gender backlash in our new blog, and download the paper 👉 link in comments!

The links between gender inequality and #malnutrition are undeniable, and the scale of the burden is staggering. When we align philanthropic efforts and band together to invest in proven, affordable, and high-impact interventions like #MMS, we can improve the health and well-being of millions of mothers and babies worldwide. #NourishEquality, a new grantmaking guide from Stronger Foundations for Nutrition, can help donors - and all development partners - get critical nutrition interventions into the hands of pregnant women today, maximizing their impact on both gender equality and #nutrition outcomes.
