Introduction
SHG xpansion: Empowering Women and Communities
Self-Help Groups (SHGs) have proven to be powerful instruments of empowerment. HOM is embarking on an ambitious plan to expand our SHG network. Currently comprising 92 SHGs with 1550 members, we aim to increase this number to 150 SHGs with 2250 members within the next year. This expansion will create more opportunities for women to come together, build financial independence, and collectively address their unique challenges.
