At Social Change and Development (SCAD), our commitment to environmental sustainability goes hand in hand with our dedication to empowering individuals, especially women, in the Tirunelveli and Tuticorin regions. Through the establishment of five plant nurseries, we are not only nurturing greenery but also sowing the seeds of financial stability, self-confidence, and independence.
Our plant nurseries serve as the backbone of our green initiatives, raising an impressive 300 to 400 thousand plant saplings each year. These saplings play a crucial role in expanding our green cover, contributing to environmental conservation and restoration efforts.
Central to our plant nursery initiatives is the empowerment of women. We provide specialized training to women, equipping them with the skills and knowledge needed to raise healthy and robust plant saplings. This training goes beyond just nurturing plants; it empowers these women with valuable skills that can be applied in various aspects of their lives.
Our plant nursery initiatives have been transformative for the beneficiaries. They have not only helped women regain their financial stability but have also contributed significantly to their self-confidence and financial independence. By engaging in plant nursery activities, these women are not just growing plants; they are cultivating their own futures.
The COVID-19 pandemic brought unprecedented challenges, including job losses and economic hardship. In response, we extended a helping hand to 30 women who had lost their livelihoods due to the pandemic. We provided them with training and engaged them in raising plant saplings, offering them a lifeline during a time of crisis.
We invite you to join us in our mission to cultivate greenery and empower women in the Tirunelveli and Tuticorin regions. By supporting SCAD, you’re not just contributing to environmental sustainability; you’re also helping us create a more financially stable, confident, and independent future for women in our communities.
If you’re interested in partnering with us, volunteering, or contributing to our plant nursery initiatives, please don’t hesitate to reach out. Your support can help us continue our vital work in nurturing both the environment and the lives of women in need.
At SCAD, we believe that true change begins with nurturing the environment and empowering individuals, and development is most impactful when compassionate hearts and dedicated hands come together. Join us in our mission to cultivate greenery and empower lives. Together, we can make a world of difference.
