Blue Mango Trust is a Training and Income Generation Program for village women in Tamil Nadu, South India. Their goal is to provide an infrastructure that gives marginalized women a chance to gain financial self sufficiency in a supportive and healing environment. Blue Mango gives priority to women who have minimal support and few options: AIDS Affected, Widows, Physically Disabled, and Victims of Domestic and Sexual Abuse. As the women gain confidence, take home good earnings, save for the future and embrace ownership in the program – feelings of hopelessness subside and a sense of empowerment takes root.

Who you help with your purchase:

In India: You are helping women who are widowed, affected by AIDS, and who have been through violence in their homes.  You are enabling them to earn an income and to become empowered, rather than stigmatized.

In the US:  Our shipping department is staffed entirely by women who are in need in the US, women who have had to escape violent situations in their homes.  These women have children who are also benefitting from their mothers being able to care for them while working.
