Meet Pushpa Lakra

Pushpa is part of the Prabha self-help group in her village in India. She learned how to grow mushrooms from a training with MCC partner DISHA, and then DISHA supported her with six mushroom spawns. Currently, Pushpa eats the mushrooms she grows and sells some in her local market. But she is hoping to expand so that she can earn enough income for a livelihood.
MCC funds this project through its account at Canadian Foodgrains Bank to improve food and nutrition security in Indigenous communities.
