Women Empowerment
|
Women in villages are generally denied credit from mainstream banking services, thus hindering their financial growth prospects and a sustainable livelihood. Samasta Microfinance steps in and extends micro loans to such women groups to enable them to support the household and involve themselves in income-generating activities for a better living.
Women are encouraged to earn additional income by involving themselves in small businesses. From the financial assistance received from Samasta, women have ventured into tailoring, papad making, setting up fruit /vegetable stalls & petty shops, and selling aluminium utensils.
Apart from the fact that these groups are trained in financial aspects of life, Samasta’s Field Welfare Officers create awareness on health, hygiene and education for the members’ wellbeing. Samasta members can opt for health insurance to financially cover them in the event of expenses arising out of unexpected illness.
Samasta has recently introduced loan for new LPG connection. It is in the process of introducing loans for education and for purchase of water purifiers and cattle.
With these activities in place, there has been a drastic transformation in the lives of women and their families, thereby impacting the society at large.
