Self-help groups (SHGs), also called sanghas, are voluntary associations of people that function democratically to achieve collective goals. Organizing people with disabilities (PWDs) into sanghas unites and empowers them by allowing them to support each other, access resources, and advocate for their rights. The overall purpose of SHGs is to empower PWDs through collective action and responsibility for their own development in order to improve their quality of life. Key tasks to sustain sanghas include strengthening solidarity, determining goals and rules, accessing government programs, and promoting livelihood and advocacy activities.
