Our Aim
Leading the women’s Self Help Group (SHG) movement, Hand in Hand India has developed unique jobs as part of a growth model focussing on women empowerment and job creation. We mobilise women into groups, draw on the collective social capital, facilitate access to economic capital, provide skills training, hone their entrepreneurial ability and act as a catalyst for a gender-equal and empowered society.
The 2.2 million women we have empowered stand testimony to the impact of our financial inclusion programme. We have seen them grow from strength to strength, with increased income, dignity and self-esteem.
