Community Livelihoods Coalition (Co-live)
Economic Resilience building for India's most vulnerable populations dependent on the commons- Forests, Oceans, Small Holder Farm and Creative communities, with a strong Focus on Gender, Climate and Equity. CoLive, initiated by Industree Foundation, is one of India's largest inclusive collectives, fostering resilience through sustainable livelihoods and community-driven health responses. Spanning 712 of India's 736 districts, CoLive connects over 1,000 grassroots organizations and civil society networks, reaching 150 million rural Indians. Supported by the Target Foundation, Industree implemented the VAMA project under CoLive, aiding eight enterprises across six states in sectors like weaving, dyeing, apparel, jewelry, handloom, and sanitary products, benefiting 1,120 marginalized women. CoLive empowers women, youth, and smallholder farm families to rebuild livelihoods and drive regenerative economic growth in post-COVID India.
