Ririshwa women group, comprising twenty five
women and three men have adopted innovative ways of generating income. They
produce some of the best jewelries made of beads and market them for a living.
They also make handbags and key holders.
The group converges every Thursday, at
the homestead of one member and work hard to produce the wares.On 24th
October 2013, LRV visited the group
and found them busy making tanks and basins out of worn out tires.
The chair-lady, Mrs. Nafuto said that
Lariak forest conservation area project has supported them with beads and
threads in small quantities. The group was also given a person to teach them
how to make the best products.
The main challenge to the group is the
difficulty in accessing raw materials for continuing with the business. She
also said that marketing the products is a difficult task for them. The
advantage of the group is the benefit of socializing and sharing spiritual and
economic information.
