“Agomoni began its journey by stepping into the quiet heart of the forest, where celebrations rarely reach. This phase aimed to bring dignity, warmth, and festive joy to women and children living far from the city’s lights. It was a reminder that compassion travels beyond maps, into the unseen corners of humanity.”
Details of execution:
1. Overview
Phase 1 of the Agomoni 2025 initiative marked the beginning of Rainbow Welfare Society’s Durga Puja outreach. After two months of preparation—including village selection, field visits, donation collection, and packaging—the team commenced on‑ground activities on 14 September. The first phase focused on reaching two remote tribal villages located deep inside the Ilambazar Forest, villages so secluded that they do not appear on standard maps: Amkhai and Jamboni.
2. Objectives
To support women in remote tribal communities with essential clothing.
To promote menstrual hygiene through the distribution of sanitary napkins.
To bring festive joy to children through small treats.
To extend Rainbow Society’s outreach beyond urban and semi‑urban areas into forest interiors.
3. Key Activities
a. Distribution of Sarees and Hygiene Supplies
All women in both villages received new sarees along with sanitary napkins, an item Rainbow Society includes in every major project to promote dignity and health.
b. Special Gifts for Children
Children in the villages were given cakes and biscuits, generously contributed by Oliva Didi and Archita. These small gestures added a festive touch and brought visible joy to the young recipients.
c. Field Coordination
The team navigated forest routes, coordinated logistics, and ensured that every household was reached. Despite the remoteness of the villages, the distribution was completed smoothly through careful planning and teamwork.
4. Impact
Two remote tribal villages were covered under Phase 1.
All women in Amkhai and Jamboni received essential clothing and hygiene products.
