AWF empowers women like Deepa Naik, who hails from Odisha. Deepa currently has 3 members in her family- her parents and her sister, whom she supports financially. She has been working tirelessly with us for the past 1 year. Deepa now says that because she has been working in close conjunction with Aadivasi Welfare Foundation, she now has lots of livelihood opportunities and environmental awareness. She has developed an affinity to nature and is now practicing sustainable agriculture. She is proud of herself for being independent and being able to provide for the family because of AWF.
