This photo was taken during my visit to Daharam Doha village in Vidharbha tribal mountain area in 2011. I was visiting this area for the purpose of the UN-funded biofuel project. The wooden structure in the background will serve as a grain storage, and it is made from a locally grown bush tree called Sambalu. They make different structures such as a roof or wall for the house when the branches are green and flexible.
After weaving, it dries in the air for a week or two. Its strength depends on the thickness of the branches used. So during the summer months, the tribes go around in the thick jungle and collect the raw material. This is the source of their income during summer months. They are willing to make some products that could be sold in the nearby big cities. However, they lack resources or facilities to market their products to the final consumer and earn decent remuneration for their hard work. There is a need for funding to provide incentives to these tribal communities so that they can improve their daily livelihoods.

In the village name Ruifata, there was a micro finance group which had started the flour mill funded by the micro finance group but when we visited there it was broken so CARD the other active NGO and iREAM helped them to restore their source of income.
