Federations of SHGs

A Federation of Self-Help Groups (SHGs) is a collaborative organization formed by individual SHGs, which are small groups of local people who come together to save money and support each other’s businesses or livelihoods. The federation acts as a larger network, providing shared resources, training, and bargaining power. It helps SHGs access larger markets, financial services, and government schemes more effectively. Essentially, it enables connected groups to work together, strengthening their collective influence, increasing financial security, and fostering community development through mutual support and cooperation.
