DONATE FOR THE LADIES PROJECT

The self help group is a project that helps ladies that are not working but are small business owners. For example: They sell coca cola, rice and beans etc... They sell several different things to survive with their children. They are unemployed person; they are those that stay home doing nothing. so, I gathered those ladies together, discuss business with them, show them how to start a small business, teach them to not stay home doing nothing but active in a small business to fight against poverty, while they are discussing, we will determine if the small business they will do or they do will benefit for them. After training with them, if there are 30 ladies, we will make groups of 10 ladies and know how much money they have to contribute for their small business and I will gather fund to give each group so they will give loan to each group with 1%. Each group will have to meet together every 2 weeks to discuss how their business work, profit or not! etc..

1. The Concept of The Self Help Group:
The members of the Self Help Group (SHG) are linked by a common bond like community, place of origin or activity. The facilitators must have the experience to identify these natural groups which are commonly called “affinity groups”. What links the groups members is therefore a “capital stock” of relationships built on mutual trust and confidence, on mutual interests of the group members, on a degree of social and economic homogeneity and on the gut feeling of its members that the group offers the best opportunity to realise their latent and often suppressed aspirations to develop economically and socially without creating social tensions locally, with which they cannot cope.
The self help group is not a static institution; it grows on the resources and management skills of its members and their increasing confidence to get involved in issues and programmes that require their involvement in the public and private spheres.
