Earthcare: An initiative to move forward together.

It is sad to see that our mother earth on which we survive is in danger and very few people are taking a stand for the cause. The fact is that everyone has the realization but not all take the action. Pollution is one of the major causes. Protecting the planet starts with us and if we want, we can bring an unseen change.

Today, we bring you the story of such a startup, EarthCare which was established for the noble cause of protecting our mother earth by promoting organic, natural, and handmade products and at the same time, providing employment to the local villagers, especially women.  

The beginning

Every startup has its own beginning story, is not it? So, has ‘Earthcare’. The story of EarthCare happened in Poochackal, a sleepy village near Alappuzha, Kerala.

EarthCare was formed seeing a need for support for the local village community. The startup is dedicated to bringing natural, chemical free handcrafted products to the world. Not only this, they are helping the local people by employing them. The structure works in such a way that everyone is benefitted from the platform.

The primary beneficiaries of the project through direct or indirect employment are women since they are the pillar of the household.  

EarthCare is working dedicatedly to bring a change by promoting women’s employment.
