SHG Federations

SHG Federations are organizations that connect and support groups of Self-Help Groups (SHGs), which are small, community-based savings and credit groups. These federations provide a platform for SHGs to access larger financial resources, share knowledge, and advocate for their needs. By working together, they enhance the groups' collective bargaining power, improve financial stability, and promote economic development within the community. Essentially, SHG Federations serve as a central body that strengthens individual SHGs through coordination, capacity-building, and resource pooling, enabling members to achieve greater social and financial empowerment.
