Tearfund | Together we rise

When a woman is given the chance to
rise up, she brings her community with her.

The Covid-19 pandemic has caused millions of people to slip back into poverty after decades of progress. Self Help Groups are caring for women and their families as they weather the storm and remain resilient in the face of one of the greatest global challenges of our time.

Self Help Groups are also a proven way to lift women and families out of poverty, provide emotional support through encouraging community, and teach valuable life skills. They help women access a better future and have a positive impact on generations to come.

Inspiring stories from courageous women

In Ethiopia, it started with
a coffee bean.

With each new day, Yenenesh woke up and wondered how she would feed her children, until her Self Help Group showed her the power of saving.

In Sri Lanka, it started with
a dream.

A dream to see women and entire communities restored and flourishing after the devastating brutal civil war and 2004 tsunami.

In Nepal, it started with
community.

After surviving years of abuse as a domestic worker, Chimini found hope and healing through the support of the women in her Self Help Group.

Self Help Groups are a tried, tested, way to help women and their families out of poverty.

Why women specifically? Because time and again, when women have the chance to rise up, they bring entire communities with them.
