In many rural and marginalized communities, women face systemic challenges, including limited access to financial resources, education, and decision-making platforms. By working with SHGs, CARE TO ACTION empowers women to become active participants in their socio-economic development, breaking the cycle of poverty and discrimination.
WOMEN IN ACTION
WHY
WHAT
- Mapping and Monitoring: Identifying existing SHGs, monitoring their activities, and promoting successful initiatives as models for other groups.
- Awareness Creation: Informing women about the presence and benefits of SHGs in their areas to encourage participation.
- Facilitating Interactions: Organizing meetings and exchanges among SHGs and among women engaged in similar professions to foster knowledge sharing and solidarity.
- Financial Support: Providing financial assistance to eligible members of SHGs for their livelihoods and business enhancement
- Capacity Building: Offering training sessions or arranging for expert trainers based on the specific needs off the women
- Activity Monitoring: Regularly assessing the progress and impact of funded activities to ensure accountability and effectiveness.
HOW
CARE TO ACTION collaborates with existing SHGs in its operational areas, recognizing the groups as platforms where women seek self-reliance and community support. Within these groups, women find opportunities to earn income, share childcare responsibilities, engage in social activities outside their homes, contribute their experiences and resources, and challenge restrictive societal norms. By nurturing these collectives, CARE TO ACTION aims to transform the socio-economic landscape, promoting gender equality and community well-being.
