Naushahro Feroze, the city mostly runs on agriculture resources. However in the past few years,the city’s remote rural areas are facing migration issues. which affects the social patterns of the farmers’ community, identity and culture.This is mostly due to the fact landlords are involved so that farmers find difficulties supporting their families only with agricultural resources. On the other hand, women are inherently involved with domestic work. And in the meantime they work on handicrafts skills.but due to the third party involved women didn't get their deserving price. My thesis aims to create an intervention which can support women’s economic growth: “Thalo”. This can be seen as a central node between villages which will sustain the interaction between nearby villagers, creating multiple opportunities for economic growth, and social empowerment, especially with focus on women and children’s activities.
