Tiger Watch took significant steps toward shaping a brighter future for girls from the Mogya traditional hunting tribe through vocational training. Most of the poachers in Ranthambore have belonged to this community and Tiger Watch has worked towards integrating this community into the mainstream away from poaching for nearly two decades.
A total of 30 girls enthusiastically participated in this empowering initiative. With invaluable support from Verandah, Dhonk Craft and CMAI , we have successfully distributed 15 sewing machines. Up to this point, 30 girls have undergone training in this program, and an additional 6-7 machines are already in use. The impact is already visible as some girls have started sewing clothes for their families, while a few have ventured into earning a modest income and by providing their sewing services to neighbours.
