At Joywing Foundation, our mission is to address the pressing issue of malnutrition and micronutrient deficiencies, particularly among children, while simultaneously empowering women and farmers in rural communities. We are proud to have made a significant impact through our comprehensive approach to nutrition, livelihood generation, and community development across three states—Rajasthan, Uttar Pradesh, and Haryana.
Here’s a snapshot of the positive changes we have brought to the lives of thousands:
Reach to 25,000 Children: Our biofortified millet-based products have reached over 25,000 children in Anganwadis and government schools across three states. These products serve as essential nutrition supplements that combat micronutrient deficiencies and improve children’s overall health and growth.
Empowering 10+ Women: We have successfully established a women-led micro-enterprise model where over 10 women are actively managing the production lines for millet-based products. This not only provides them with a steady source of income but also empowers them to play a pivotal role in their community’s development.
Supporting 2,000+ Farmers: Through our partnerships with farmers, we have facilitated the cultivation of nutrition-rich biofortified grains, reaching over 2,000 farmers. These farmers are now able to grow crops that are not only resilient but also enhance their economic prospects, contributing to the rural economy’s growth.
Over 5 Lakh Millet-Based Products Served: Our efforts have resulted in the distribution of over 5 lakh millet-based products, which are consumed by children and women in our target communities. These products serve as vital nutrition supplements, helping to address iron deficiency, anemia, and other micronutrient deficiencies.
Key Areas of Impact:
Nutrition Security: By providing biofortified millet-based snacks, we are significantly improving the nutritional intake of children, thereby contributing to their cognitive and physical development.
Livelihood Generation: Through our women-led production units, we are not only providing women with new skills but also creating sustainable livelihood opportunities, making a lasting impact on their families and communities.
Agricultural Sustainability: Our collaborations with farmers ensure that they have access to high-quality, nutrition-rich crops that are not only in demand for our products but also increase their income and strengthen the local agricultural economy.
Our approach continues to grow, with plans to scale our programs and reach even more children, women, and farmers in the coming years. With every product served, every woman empowered, and every farmer supported, we are building a healthier, more prosperous future for rural India.
