| Women’s
Groups
Arpana has
facilitated the formation of 114 women’s
groups in the 35 target villages in Haryana.
Their aims are:
1. Economic well-being and self-reliance,
2. Promoting health care in their communities,
particularly for mothers and
children.
Entrepreneurs
Members of the Haryana women’s groups have
been trained in skills for leadership and management
as well as planning and accounts. 200 women have
taken loans for small businesses.
Their lives and attitudes are transformed. Their
homes and families are more prosperous and they
enjoy a status and measure of respect which they
have never had before in their families or in
their villages.
"The moment you believe
you know all there is to know about something,
you limit yourself."
