Self Help Groups

Alone we can do so little; together we can do so much.

Welcome to Ayyaa Self Help Groups

            At Ayyaa Self Help Groups (SHGs), we believe in the power of collective effort and community-driven development. Our Self Help Groups are designed to empower individuals – especially women and marginalized communities – by fostering financial independence, personal growth, and social cohesion. Through mutual support, skill-building, and shared resources, Ayyaa Self Help Groups create a foundation for sustainable development and lasting change.

Our Services

Financial Literacy and Savings Programs

             We offer comprehensive financial literacy training to ensure that group members understand the basics of saving, budgeting, and financial planning. Each group engages in collective savings, allowing members to access low-interest loans for personal needs, entrepreneurial ventures, or community projects.

Microcredit and Access to Capital

             Ayyaa SHGs provide access to microcredit and loans, enabling members to invest in income-generating activities, small businesses, or agricultural ventures. This fosters financial independence and helps break the cycle of poverty in vulnerable communities.

Skill Development and Income Generation

              Our SHGs focus on equipping members with essential skills needed for small-scale industries, crafts, and local trades. We offer training in areas such as tailoring, handicrafts, farming, and more, enabling members to develop their own businesses and contribute to the local economy.

Entrepreneurial Training

             Ayyaa SHGs promote entrepreneurship by offering training programs on how to start, manage, and grow small businesses. We provide mentorship, business planning support, and access to markets, allowing members to explore entrepreneurial opportunities that can transform their livelihoods.

Women Empowerment and Leadership Development

             A key focus of our SHGs is women’s empowerment. We help women gain confidence, take on leadership roles, and become active participants in decision-making processes within their families and communities. Leadership training and personal development workshops are integral parts of our program.

Health, Sanitation, and Social Awareness

             Beyond financial and skill-building programs, we emphasize health education, sanitation practices, and social awareness. We conduct workshops on health and hygiene, environmental conservation, and social issues such as gender equality and domestic violence.

Impact

            Through Ayyaa Self Help Groups, we have uplifted thousands of individuals by empowering them to become financially independent and socially active members of their communities. Our SHGs have enabled members to create sustainable livelihoods, improve their standard of living, and build a strong sense of community through collective action. The ripple effect of our work reaches far beyond financial gains, promoting holistic development and social transformation.
