SABAL was an integrated initiative aimed at improving livelihoods, nutrition, and food security among the Korku tribal communities in Madhya Pradesh and Maharashtra. Operating across 102 villages in Khandwa and Amravati districts, SABAL adopted a holistic, community-driven approach that included sustainable agriculture, income generation, and improved healthcare access. The program empowered communities through training, partnerships with government services like ICDS, and active involvement of traditional leaders and health workers. Notable initiatives included a District-Level Agriculture Festival promoting millet cultivation, seed distribution to over 1,200 farmers, and targeted nutrition support for malnourished children and mothers. Through strategic scaling and collaboration, SABAL strengthened food and nutrition security at both local and systemic levels.
