Building Resilient Livelihoods I EdelGive Foundation

EdelGive works to achieve 10X impact by investing in partner NGOs with a combination of direct funding, capacity building, and linking NGOs to other funding sources, both public and private. EdelGive's partners in Livelihoods have a strong community connect, and have built interventions that are contextual to the needs. We work mainly in:

A. Water for Livelihood: The program enhances access to water for irrigation through construction of innovative models for rain water harvesting, awareness building in best practices in agriculture methodology, livelihood augmentation activities, thus promoting climate smart agriculture. Examples include System of Rice Intensification, System of Millet Intensification, LEISA technology.

B. Financial Inclusion: EdelGive’s Financial Inclusion model enables access to capital along with basic business acumen for the people from vulnerable sections of society to make smarter choices. We work with diverse communities of migrant workers, fisherwoman, and rag pickers to provide them credit, remittance and social protection services; as well as capacity building support for entrepreneurship development.

C. Skill and Institutional building: The programs promotes value addition and market linkages for the farming fraternity, and encourage them to move towards a sustainable model of agriculture. We encourage and support formation and strengthening of the Farmer Producer Organisation.

D. Employability Skill Building: EdelGive supports NGOs in enabling youth employability and linking the youth to good career opportunities through experiential learning, developing their soft skills and providing them with internship opportunities.
