Empowerment
Millions of jobs* created by developing women’s skills, imparting financial & digital literacy, facilitating loans for enterprises, and creating access to markets.
We strongly believe and have been proving it right for years – empowering women will turn them into self-sufficient entrepreneurs – a key transformation that eradicates poverty and leads to social change.
Empowered women command greater influence in homes, communities, and in decision-making structures.
The Self Help Group (SHG)- Micro Enterprises programme primarily targets women and focuses on creating enterprises and jobs. Plus, SHG women are sensitised about the importance of education, both for themselves and their children. Adult literacy classes are conducted, which provide non-formal education to fulfil SHG women’s educational aspirations.

The Self Help Group model is our strategy for social and economic alleviation of rural women. Uniting 10-12 women from similar economic profiles, we foster job creation through a five-step process: social mobilisation, SHG formation, capacity building through training in financial and digital literacy, access to credit, and entrepreneurship development and market linkages. Value-based skill training and awareness on healthcare and Water, Sanitation, and Hygiene (WASH) makes the model a holistic approach.

Read More Women’s productivity and good health determine the well-being of the family. Under our focused healthcare intervention, we provide routine rural medical clinics, assisted by qualified physicians, and mobile health camps for SHG members in remote rural communities. Championing the cause of maternal and child health, Mother's Collectives are formed in villages as a platform to provide health training on anaemia prevention and control, early childhood care and development, and more women and girls are sensitised on personal hygiene and linked with government subsidies to build household latrines.
