Empowering hands for sustainable livelihoods
Many poor and vulnerable families are grappling with critical challenges due to a lack of access and opportunities for livelihood income generation. Access to livelihood income generation for rural women significantly contributes to the well-being of their families and the development of the community. Such large-scale migration leads to hazardous living conditions and socio-cultural, as well as political, issues. AIRD's engagement in livelihood promotion with the rural poor since 2020 is another significant step in the lifeline of AIRD's response.
