Women operate successful business
Changing roles
Women, who were fetching water and firewood, now walk confidently to the local bank to deposit their Self Help Group savings; confidently meet the bank manager and secure loans. They no longer depend on their husbands to make decisions. They are powerful and empowered to face any challenge. They are small business owners.
Self Help Group and entrepreneurs
Our self-help groups which are integrated into a women federation called Bharathi Women Federation (BWF) consist of 3100 members including 625 People Living with HIV/ AIDS. BWF participates in mass campaign and advocacy to strengthen the issues of women.
SSH believes that investing in women strengthens families and societies. Our integrated Women Development Programme instils leadership qualities, strengthens their income generation avenues, advocates women’s rights and ensures new economic opportunities.
