A 1°C change may seem small and inconsequential.
For vulnerable women fish farmers, it is often the difference between success and failure!

For many women in rural West Bengal, India, engaged in fish farming, success depends on understanding what nature is quietly changing around them.

A shift in season affects fish health, feeding patterns, and growth. These changes are gradual, yet their impact affects their household income in a very real and unhelpful manner.

This is where knowledge becomes essential.

Not just to improve their confidence and their productivity, but also to help them make informed decisions in the right manner, at the right time.

Through training and knowledge, the women fish farmers learn how seasonal changes influence the growth and health of their fish and the ecosystem of their ponds.

They also learn how knowledge coupled with timely actions prompts the timely production of organic feed, prevents the onset of any disease, reduces their costs, minimises any wastage of precious feed, and improves the health and growth of their fish.

The women use these learnings to harvest a more bountiful and healthier fish that sells readily.

The value of such learning goes beyond one farming season. It strengthens their confidence, builds resilience, and helps their families adapt to an ever-changing climate.

Sometimes, improving livelihoods starts with understanding the smallest change.

Look what your support has made possible !

Together, we are making an amazing transformation for 350 vulnerable women and their farming families.

We have gone beyond our goal and helped bring something truly meaningful into reality.

And we want to begin by saying - Thank You.

Because of your belief and incredible support, the first of many women-led Bio-Resource Centres will start changing the way sustainable, climate-resilient farming, healthy food production, and soil regeneration in the water-scarce district of Nawada, Bihar, India, is happening for the better!

This is not just an isolated initiative.
It is the beginning of a systemic, women-led, community-driven transition.

A transition where:

• Women gain knowledge, means, tools, and equal standing for safeguarding their precious farming livelihoods
• Women start using natural inputs produced locally and supplied affordably
• Soil begins to regenerate, becomes healthier
• Village Communities thrive, local environments prosper, and economic growth becomes a reality.

Food grown will no longer contain harmful chemicals. Groundwater will become cleaner. Vulnerable livelihoods will be replaced by healthier, more productive households. Opportunities for the education and welfare of their children will become visible.

Entire villages now have the opportunity to move towards a more self-reliant and regenerative way of living, at a time when chemical inputs are becoming more expensive and uncertain globally.

This is a lasting change. And this is just the beginning.

Thank you for being part of this journey, and we will walk every step with you and our women farmers.

Most people who see this will agree with it. Few will act.
This is where the difference is made.

In Nawada, Bihar, India, women farmers have already begun transforming how they farm. They are growing crops year-round, earning more, and building resilience.

But one critical step remains. They are still dependent on costly chemical inputs that damage their soil, pollute their water, and keep them vulnerable.

The final step is now within reach. A Bio-Resource Centre enables farmers to turn farm waste into powerful, bio-organic inputs, locally and affordably.

Help bring this to life by clicking here: https://donate.biggive.org/campaign/a05WS00000Bphr0YAB?utm_campaign=a05WS00000Bphr0YAB-facebook&utm_source=facebook&utm_medium=social

This changes everything:

• Waste becomes income
• Inputs become accessible
• Chemical Dependency is reduced
• A sustainable community is formed.

One woman leads. 5 - 10 more women gain livelihoods. 350 fellow farmers benefit.

And a transformation is created that can extend across thousands of villages.

We are now in the final days.

If you have been considering supporting this effort, this is your moment.

You are not just giving.
You are making the final step possible, one that allows this transformation to continue on its own.

You can enable one of the most amazing yet simple changes to stop widespread soil depletion and foster regenerative farming ! Learn how.

By joining us today, through our Big Give Earth Raise campaign, we will together transform women farmers’ livelihoods by establishing Bio-Resource Centres in their village communities in the water-scarce district of Nawada, Bihar, India.

The solutions they need already exist on their farms. However, they need the knowledge, the tools, the means, and the resources with which to make use of this truly transformative solution.

One Bio-Resource Centre enables 350 women to convert their farm waste into valuable bio-organic inputs – produced locally, affordably, and sustainably.

This creates a complete system and a circular economy for them:

• Their farm waste becomes a valuable income-generating resource by converting it into naturally produced super compost, fertilisers, and pesticides.
• Each centre provides employment for 4-5 local women.

This means resilient harvests, rich, nutritious food production for everyone, cleaner groundwater, and sustainable futures.

Your impact does not stop at one farmer, one field. It strengthens entire farming communities and truly empowers these women farmers.

Please do not wait. We have two more days to transform their livelihoods. Every gift, however large or small, is doubled in value.

£20 becomes £40. £50 becomes £100. £100 becomes £200

Do you know what a single contribution of £50 can do for a vulnerable, woman farmer?

It gives her the credibility to become a local entrepreneur – producing and selling safe, trusted bio-organic inputs to the poor, farming community around her.

This is the essential difference between remaining chemically dependent and instead becoming self-sufficient.

And this week, your £50 instantly becomes £100, because every contribution to our Big Give Earth Raise campaign is doubled.

We are building Bio-Resource Centres led by women farmers in Nawada, Bihar – one of India’s most water-scarce and impoverished districts.

Each centre produces 100 metric tonnes of bio-organic inputs annually, employs 4-10 additional women, and enables 350 other women farmers to move away from chemical fertilisers.

This is not a handout. It is the foundation of a circular, climate-resilient, community-driven economy: built by women, for women.

Our fundraising campaign runs until 29th April. Every contribution is still matched.

Up to one-third of the global fertiliser supply is now at risk!

The more dependent our farming is on chemical-based products, the more fragile our food production.

For smallholder farmers, especially women, this is not abstract; it is now a stark reality everywhere. It directly affects their costs, food production, farming livelihoods, and food security.

Bio-Resource Centres offer a local, resilient alternative. Women-led and community-operated, they convert farm waste into affordable bio-organic inputs, produced on demand.

Each centre supplies up to 10 metric tonnes annually, reducing dependence on volatile global supply chains while restoring soil health and groundwater.

This is a systemic shift: from external dependency to local capability.
Your support will establish these centres where they are needed most, strengthening resilience at the community level.

Change begins with small steps. Today, join us and take the small, measured steps towards an incredible, systemic transformation that will change the lives of 350 vulnerable women farmers!

In Nawada, Bihar, which is one of India’s most water-scarce and impoverished districts, women farmers are trapped in a cycle of chemical fertiliser dependency that is costing them everything: rising input costs, degrading soil, contaminated groundwater, poor health, and shrinking margins on already fragile livelihoods.

We are changing this. Not with hand-outs. With a proven, sustainable, scalable, and replicable intervention!

A community-led Bio-Resource Centre will enable 350 vulnerable women farmers to transform their own farm waste into high-quality bio-organic compost, fertilisers, and insecticides - locally, affordably, sustainably.

One trained woman farmer operates each centre. 100 metric tonnes of bio-organic inputs are produced per year. Up to 350 women are supplied with affordable bio-organic inputs. 5–10 more women employed. A woman-led, circular economy takes root.

This is the next step in a complete, regenerative, climate-resilient farming system that has been systematically tested, proven, and established.

Did you know? In India, farmers burn over 50% of their harvest waste every year.

The smoke clears. The soil never fully recovers!

This is the cycle that has quietly been destroying the farmland that women farmers in Nawada, Bihar, India, depend on. Rising debt and shrinking harvests put their livelihoods under existential threat.

The solution, however, is already on the farm.

Women-led Bio-Resource Centres transform the very waste that is burning into powerful bio-organic compost, fertilisers, and insecticides.

Tomorrow, our Big Give Earth Raise campaign starts – we are raising funds with your support to establish one of several women-led centres. Every single contribution counts and will be matched.

Your £50 becomes £100. Your £100 becomes £200.

The Impact will look like this:

100 metric tonnes produced per year. 350 farmers served. 4–5 women employed. A strong, circular economy built from the ground up.

What if the solution to soil degradation was already on the farm and all it needs is a woman farmer to lead the transformation?

In Nawada, Bihar, India, decades of chemical fertiliser use have depleted the very soil that women farmers depend on. Costs are rising. Harvests are shrinking. Their livelihoods are under growing threat.

Yet, the answer to a systemic transformation is closer than it seems and it begins on their farms itself.

Women-led Bio-Resource Centres will transform their farm waste, currently discarded, into powerful bio-organic compost, fertilisers and insecticides. A trained woman entrepreneur at the heart of each facility, along with 4–5 employed women farmers produce 100 metric tonnes of organic inputs annually. This supports the livelihoods of more 350 local, vulnerable farmers. Thus, building a circular economy, from the ground up.

From this Wednesday, every contribution you make will double your impact through the Big Give Earth Raise campaign. Your £50 becomes £100.

Visit our campaign page today to explore the full scope, budget, and expected outcomes of the program and be ready to help transform their livelihoods from Wednesday.
