Microcredit Marvels: Empowering Women

                                             Screening of women empowerment videos for Women Groups

On 28.09.2022 three MSW interns from the MAR AUGUSTHINOSE college Ramapuram , Kerela, and Mrs. Mary Slessor, Program Manager from Prime Trust visited the Akshaya Punnagai Pookkal Self Help Group members at Muthialpet which is run by Prime Trust. The women were shown two videos on women empowerment. There was an interactive session about how the SHG has helped women and their families. Each member shared how they have utilized the Rs. 20,000/- loan that they received from Prime Trust. It was a good opportunity for the interns to interact with the women by going to their community. The women responded well and also watched the videos with much interest. The videos have given them a positive outlook on their lives and they have realized the capability of economic productiveness within them.

It was very much useful. We thank GlobalGiving and its donors for their support!
