SHGs provide unifying platforms through which a diverse group of women can demonstrate strong bonds of mutual concern.
Our Model enables women to disrupt deep hierarchies, which we believe are the source of poverty, inequality and exclusion.
Beyond impacts on health, livelihoods and incomes, women experience increased levels of self-confidence and sustained agency.
Strategically placed institutions (in the form of Self-Help Groups, Village Organizations and Block Organizations) are owned and managed by the women themselves to ensure that effective support systems and safety nets are at the grassroots level.
Women are connected to the world through the enabling process of capacity building and focused training so that they may acquire the resources, skills and sustained life changes necessary to come out of poverty and inspire others to do the same.
Our field programmes are designed to be efficient, sustainable and measurable. They address multi-dimensional aspects of poverty and deliver a range of services from health to education, while also breaking hierarchies by using gender as a unifying force.
