WWF has taken an initiative, first of its kind in Pakistan, where Indigo farms are being cultivated once again in Sindh, engaging the local communities of Keenjhar Lake and Chotiari Reservoir to start Indigo cultivation, once again after 35 years. Hunarmund is taking it forward in collaboration with WWF to train the skilled Indigo farmers how to effectively market their product.

Hunarmund is enabling the Indigo farmers with the basic marketing skills which is helping them take their product to potential buyers around the world, remotely.

Through the IECLP 10 day training programme, a batch of 24 Indigo farmers are now linked with Hunarmund to market their products, enable them to sell their product and create sustainability for them in the Long-Run.
