WOMEN EMPOWERMENT PROGRAMME::

SEED has taken up activities that promote socio-economic development of women in its operational area. Self-help groups (SHGs) engaged in income generation activities have come up as economy contributors of families. Their capacity building, bank and credit linkages through SEED have ensured that women are participating in development process and their social dignity are getting enhanced. The income generation programmes of members of these SHGs have-not only transformed women into economic sources but also instilled a sense of confidence among them. The organisation not only assists in selecting trades for Income Generation Programme (IGP) but also facilitates record keeping and provides technical guidance. In addition, SEED has imparted training on reproductive health, institutional delivery, and the use of safe drinking water, mosquito nets, and the use of shoes.
