Project Location
Tamil Nadu, India
Women from SWEET in Tamil Nadu, India receiving their grant from RSWR Welfare and Education Trust (SWEET) was sponsored by the Irish group Quaker Faith in Action in 2017
Activities:

Vegetable vending, tailoring, masala powder preparation

Initial Beneficiaries:

25 women from Sri Lankan repatriate families, most of whom are widows or single mothers

Seed Funding Date:

Spring 2016

The women in this group all lost their jobs when local spinning mills were closed by the government. SWEET helped them form a self-help group and apply for a RSWR grant, which was sponsored by an Irish Quaker organization. With their loans, the women have started small businesses such as vegetable vending, tailoring, and masala power preparation. Some of the women were able to receive training in marketing and tailoring or masala preparation through government programs. As of their six-month report, 16 new women have received funding from the repaid loans.
