Umung is a collective of self-help groups and producer-shareholders in the Himalayas promoting sustainable livelihoods, fair trade products and gender equity. The women of the self-help groups harvest and produce gourmet, fair trade food products such as honey, spices, and pickles. All proceeds go straight back to the share-holders and their community development and environmental sustainability projects.
