From working with small groups of under-provided women, ASF stepped up, to help larger sections of women in under-privileged and marginalised communities who were financially, severely challenged. We studied their traditional livelihood stream and provided the scaffolding required for them to work in their area of knowledge and competence. They needed to contemporise their traditional ways. Educated them on the benefits of taking loans, insuring their livestock, saving their earnings in a bank, life and health insurance for themselves, sending their children to school and so on.

Through these initiatives, we ensure women become financially independent and are able to support their dependents in the family, including girl children; gradually they rise from the margins to mainstream. The beneficiaries are continuously monitored to ensure ongoing sustenance for themselves and their livelihood.
