CDC is a developmental organizaton working with primitive tribes called BAIGA. They were living in deep forest but due to so called development and civil societies they have beed distrubed. They are illiterate, unskilled and unaware. CDC has started to work with 35 BAIGA families whose are living now in near by village. Their only livelihood is based on forest, lots of rules and regulation and forest Act they are now unable to get benefit from the forest, Now they are doing labor in agriculture or collecting some non timber forest produces and selling and earn money for life. OR finding different kinds of roots for food. They don't have proper food and sheltor also.
CDC decided to work on skill improvement and insuring their source of income through use of their traditional skill. We are thinking to trained them and support them for making of Stabalized Mud Block for low cost building materials. It is energy saver and echo friendly. The technique is developed by Indian Institute of Science Bangalore. If some people got proper training and equipments, they could use for their own houses and after they can sell it to earn income for their livelihood.
Organization seeking training support and equipment support. Anyone can join our venture and support our programme through fund raising
