“I had to borrow Rs. 10000 for an emergency @ 10% against my gold chain. Self Help Group lends at only 2% without any collateral”- Kamla
“Needed Rs. 10000 loan for my daughter’s marriage which came at 25% from local landlord, but my Self Help Group money came to my rescue”- Lakshmi
“I don’t want my daughter to go out in field for toilet purpose at odd hours. So I plan to borrow money from my self help group to construct a toilet” -Rameela
“I got married while studying B.Ed. I plan to study ahead by taking a loan from my Self Help Group” – Priyanka
It was your contribution that empowered these women in the remote villages of Southern Rajasthan. Without your efforts, we at Seva Mandir could not have been able to bring about awareness to be financially secure. Just like Kamla, Lakshmi, Rameela and Priyanka, there are thousands of women who are waiting to be aware and be empowered.
Wondering how can you help us?
Global Giving has come up with this innovative idea of matching donations. From Monday, September 21st through Friday, September 25th, Global Giving will be offering a one-time 100% match on all new recurring donations up to $200 per donor!
Hence we request you to become our recurring donor and help us through your contributions. For queries, questions and insights on our work you can reach out to me at atul.lekhra@sevamandir.org
We thank you from the bottom of our heart for joining hands with us in making these women financially independent.
