Ririshwa women group, comprising twenty five
women and three men have adopted innovative ways of generating income. They
produce some of the best jewelries made of beads and market them for a living. They
also make handbags and key holders.

The group converges
every Thursday, at the homestead of one member and work hard to produce the
wares. On 24th October 2013, LRV
visited the group and found them busy making tanks and basins out of worn out
tires.
The chair-lady,
Mrs. Nafuto said that Lariak forest conservation area project has supported
them with beads and threads in small quantities. The group was also given a
person to teach them how to make the best products.
The main
challenge to the group is the difficulty in accessing raw materials for continuing
with the business.
She also
said that marketing the products is a difficult task for them. The advantage of
the group is the benefit of socializing and sharing spiritual and economic
information.
