Saathi Project:
• Started in November, 2007, with support from Godfrey
Phillips India, New Delhi and facilitated by Charities Aid
Foundation (CAF)
• In four villages in Gurgaon district.
• Targeted at the economic empowerment of women by
running self help groups and entrepreneurship
development.
• We run Adult literacy centres in three villages.

• We have been able to reach 250 beneficiaries directly
and approximately 1500 beneficiaries indirectly.
We have been able to help disadvantaged
women through self-help groups
• to save money,
•access microcredit,
•engage in economically viable activities and
become agents of change in their communities.
Today twelve Self Help groups are running
more or less independently and many
women have been able to break the
traditional roles set for them and give wings
to their dreams.
It is not sufficient to promote SHG but the
group has to be sustained. Constant inputs
of training and capacity building are
required to sustain SHGs. The main
objective of the capacity building trainings
is to capacitate the SHG members and to
inculcate the fundamentals of the SHG
concept through systematic modular
trainings.
All the SHG members are imparted the basic
training. The focus of the training is on
•Concept of Self Help;
•Why Self Help?;
•Self help as a tool for economic, social and political
empowerment,
• Detailed presentation of stages of SHG developmentFormation, capacity building, savings and credit as group
activities, entrepreneurship and empowerment;

•Group mechanics and dynamics- need for cohesion,
effect of diversity on the group, leadership issues, tackling
group apathy, group facilitation.
Under the project, three spice and cereal processing units
are functioning where the women from the SHGs produce
spices, cereals, flour etc to earn a living. These units are
currently operational in Bandhwari, Gwalpahari and
Waliawas villages. We ensure that the spices are produced
under the most hygienic conditions and packed neatly for
sale.
All the members working in the Spice and Cereal
processing Units are well equipped with the
processing techniques like drying, grinding,
weighing and packaging etc. The members have
thorough knowledge about the time span and the
extent of grinding. Packaging is also done by these
SHG members as well as local sale to earn their
profits.
We have also developed linkages with
corporates and group housing societies where
our women set up stalls for the sale of their
product.
A creche is also being run to provide child care support to
women members engaged in income generation activities.
Adult Literacy Programme:
•Initiated with the vision to impart functional literacy to
the SHG women who were illiterate.

•With the passage of time the intervention tried to cover
all illiterate women of the respective villages.
•Three adult literacy centres are being run.

•The teachers have been trained by Jamila Milia Islamia
University
• We are using the curriculum developed by the Jamila
Milia Islamia University for imparting literacy skills.
•There are 50 beneficiaries under this programme
Project Shobha:
• To enable the skill development of girls and
women in the villages by providing a vocational
beautician training course.
•Conducted in village Ghata, Gurgaon.
•The duration of the course was for 4 months
and the technical skill was being provided by a
recognized and experienced professional of this
field.
Making spices has given Minu a
way to fund her daughter’s
education.

Until an year ago, Bimla never
dreamed that she’d have her
own income.
Jagwati never learned to read
and write. She is now learning to
be an entrepreneur.

Kusum hopes to show her sister
that women can do a lot more than
just keeping house.
“I am happy that I can read and
write. Now I sign and do not give a
thumb impression. It gives me a
great sense of pride.”
- Seema, Lakshya SHG, Bandhwari

“My family is proud of me, now that I
am standing on my feet. I make
spices and sell them.”
- Sharda, Umang SHG, Gwalpahari.
Doing the course changed Usha’s life.
Now she’s teaching others and changing their lives.
