SHG Federation

An SHG Federation is a collective organization formed by multiple Self-Help Groups (SHGs), which are small community groups focused on savings and mutual support. By uniting into a federation, these groups can access larger resources, better negotiate with banks or institutions, and undertake bigger projects like income generation or community development. It strengthens their bargaining power, improves financial literacy, and fosters collective growth, allowing member groups to achieve more sustainable impact and financial stability. This structure promotes empowerment, social cohesion, and economic progress within local communities.
