Tailoring and Dressmaking:
The community stakeholders are economically empowered through self-sustainable initiatives for income generating activities.
Empowerment workshops are organized at AIM's community resource center where tailoring and dress making classes are conducted on voluntary basis.

Poultry Keeping
We keep both layers and broilers (chicken), which provide eggs as source of proteins to the childrenand  the sick on our home based care program (HBC).

-The eggs in surplus are sold out to cater for other financial needs which include:
1.    Buying books, pencils, clothes, shoes for the children
Employ a watchman, Run other small daily errands
-Chicken droppings provide good farm yard manure (FYM) important for improving soil structure on our agricultural land. Therefore we save on fertilizer purchase.

Agri - Business
We sensitize the community on business-oriented agricultural activities, i.e, crops are grown for consumption as well as commercial purposes.

Goat keeping (Dairy goat)
-Goat milk is more nutritious and can be used to  prepare milk tea at the center for orphans. The rest of the milk is ferried to the depot and funds collected on monthly basis to support more financial needs. These include:
•    Treating the goats
•    Servicing them
•    Providing food additives
•    Paying the care taker /veterinary officer
•    Mechanized commercial agriculture
