Twenty Women's Self-Help Groups (WSHGs) in Sipapokhare Ward 7 and Bhimtar Ward 12 run their own savings circles, manage livelihood loans, and decide which household enterprises get backed. We provide the ledger, the training, and the meeting space. They provide every other thing.

What we fund
A ledger, a goat, a kitchen.
Members vote on which livelihood streams the group will back. The list is short and grounded — poultry, goat-rearing, kitchen-garden produce, small home enterprise (snack-making, tailoring). Loans are member-decided, member-repaid, and members hold the keys to the savings box.
We provide bookkeeping training, livelihood workshops, and connection to government livestock vets and agricultural extension officers. We do not run the groups. We are the assistant secretary, at most.
