3. Saathi – Companion for SHG’s
SHGs or Self-Help Groups are exclusive groups that started primarily to empower women in rural and suburban areas, make them economically independent. Saksham helps them from conceptualizing of SHG to the formation and the way to smooth functioning; we also facilitate SHG for adequate banking access and also educate the group members on bank procedures, other schemes, and banking programs. Also, spread awareness among SHGs on new & existing government schemes.
Sahaye, the meaning companion in Hindi, was initiated 10 years back even when Saksham was not founded. It was to address these challenges through a simple yet effective approach were SHGs focus on women with the confidence that they could create a change in a more rapid way. They are formed with the intention to give these women confidence and the skills to form, manage, and build a sustainable community to take care of their livelihoods and grow holistically.
Saksham has helped in more than 20,000 SHG’s across Maharashtra.
Some of the significant social impacts made by SHGs:
Helps women to break free from the vicious male dominance
Enhances the social status and respect for women
Alleviates domestic violence, verbal abuse, and alcoholism
Eradicates social evils like Female Infanticide, Caste discrimination, etc

5. Gunakaar- Multiplying Joy
Saksham has always stood for spreading joy amongst the less fortunate. When we buy something new for us things like Toys, Clothes, Shoes, Bags, or any other materials it makes us happy but after some time we get bored and we again buy new products and throw the old one.
But your old product could be a new one for someone less fortunate and can bring more happiness and joy to those children. Donate those items that are just lying at some corner of your house, gathering dust and taking up some much-needed space. It’s time to donate them and give those books, toys, clothes, etc a new life.
You can send us a message here if you want us to collect any of the items you wish to donate.
