Project Description:

In April 2024 and later in July 2025, Sewa Canada International with funding from Dr. PC Raju & Jyoti Shah Family Foundation successfully completed 13,000 mango plants to 800 farmers, providing them with income generation. This was warmly embraced by local farmers, marking a significant step toward rural empowerment. Building on the success over the last two years, an additional 500 families are to be provided with 15,000 mango trees across 5 villages. This will empower these farmers to boost their incomes, and drive long-term rural socio-economic development.

• Target Plant Distribution: 15,000 mango plants
• Target Beneficiaries: Approximately 500 families across 5 villages
• Geographical Coverage: 5 Villages across South Gujarat, India.

Project Timelines:

• Distributing 15,000 mango plants to selected families - October 2026
• Conducting regular surveys, offering guidance, and submit donor and audit reports - Every quarter for 3 years
• Yield and Earnings - After 3 years Mango yield increases with each year, creating income opportunities for families

Expected Impact:

Per Family Yield and Income Projections (approx. 20 plants per family): Note: The figures below consider estimated earnings since the crop's success will largely depend on favourable natural conditions such as rainfall, soil quality, and climate stability.

Aggregate Impact:

By Year 8, families can generate a stable and significant annual income of upto $ 7,500 per year, uplifting rural communities and reducing urban migration pressures.

The ASK:

We are looking at raising $ 30,000 to empower 500 families with 30 mango saplings each to help generate income for themselves.
