“My name is Imtiyaz Sadikbhai Vat, and I live in Devla village in Jambusar, Bharuch. For years, my family and I survived doing casual labour work. It was tough, and making ends meet was always a struggle.

In 2023–24, I got the chance to work as a site supervisor for a mangrove plantation project by VIKAS Centre for Development, with support from the MakeMyTrip Foundation.

My wife and I both worked on the project and together we earned INR 84,425. With this money, we bought a motorbike, and now we are able to eat healthy meals every day. This work has made a big difference to our lives.”
