Teaching Transformational Community Development (TCD) lessons and providing a little seed money helped people become sustainable, served as an example and encouragement to other communities.

Due to poverty, Shanta* and her family lived with many problems and sufferings in the community. There was not enough food for the family, children were not sent to school, there was not enough clothes to wear, and the community looked down on her family.

When she faithfully attended TCD classes, she gained knowledge. She started raising a goat and now has many goats. With that income, she has managed family expenses and could send her children to school and pay for their education. TCD has been a great help in her life. Her life is changed because TCD classes, training, and seed money were so helpful to start her business.

Likewise, Mahita* and Tara* raised goats after getting seed money from GHNI. They are doing well and are able to manage their family expenses. Now they have happiness in their family.

*For the purpose of safety and wellbeing, “Shanata,” “Mahita”, and “Tara” are pseudonyms for the individuals being helped by this project.

Thank you!
