Socio-Economic Empowerment
Women’s Economic Empowerment – Self-Help Group Formation
Project Overview
As part of our 2025 commitment to promoting women’s financial independence and leadership, Community Hope Initiative has successfully formed 10 new Self-Help Groups (SHGs) across our target communities.
Achievements
• Total Membership: 1,060 women
• Groups are fully operational with weekly meetings and savings sessions.
• Women have begun small-scale businesses such as baking, tailoring, and farming supported by group loans.
Impact
These SHGs are not only improving household incomes but also creating safe spaces for women to learn, support each other, and grow together. Leadership is rotating among members, building confidence and collective responsibility.
Quote from a Member
“I never thought I could save money weekly. Now I have my own small business and can support my children’s school needs.” – Mary, SHG member
