The tribal hardly earn their living through farming or by doing odd jobs or by making handicrafts and minimum income. At the beginning of the crop harvesting season, they need funds to buy seeds and fertilizers. When they are starting new handicrafts works many times there is the requirement of capital which they borrow from local moneylender and fall in the trap of high interest. ITCT has started a project wherein it provides interest-free loan to very poor and needy farmer for farming works.
Also, there is a poor tribal woman in ChotoJamira village of Hailakandi Assam, who is a widow with two grown children – one is a boy who is suffering from mental-health issues, and her daughter is also not well. With the help of one of our generous donor Gaurav Sharma, Tribal Care Trust is providing monthly ration to this family of three persons every month for the last two years.
