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

Our Goal for 2021 

 

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.

Please help us extend these life-changing groups to 9,000 more women this year!
