Self Help Groups
Through Self Help Groups (SHG) women have been empowered with a number of ideas from where they work hard and earn income to provide their house hold with basic needs. This has greatly provided food security where 44.9% of the households are able to have three meals and 51.3% two meals a day. This improvement in feeding has directly impacted the children in the SHG members household.
