Women living in poverty are tackling hunger, thanks to Curry for Change 2016.
In Tarimar - a remote village in India - Mahetrin leads a local Women’s Group.
Every month the group meets, and each of its 12 members contribute 50 Rupees (58p) to a group savings account. Each member then has the chance to take out a loan, allowing them to invest in the tools they need to earn an income and grow more food.
In receiving this loan, the women are being given an opportunity. For the first time they are able to shape their own futures and together, take action together to combat hunger and poverty.
