SELF-HELP GROUPS

Deep Griha has helped women initiate over 40 self-help groups with more than 700 members. The groups are largely self-sufficient and self-run; members of each group decide on their own aims and activities, which can range from emotional support to financial cooperatives and income generation projects. By working together, supporting each other in their ambitions, and building their confidence, the groups empower women to change their own lives.

LEGAL AID

Deep Griha works with the Legal Aid Centre of Pune and ILS Law College to provide legal aid and advice. Because domestic violence is a primary issue addressed through this program, a crucial component is making women aware of their rights. The ILS Law College encourages women to learn about their rights and provides free legal advice to those in need.
