and economic empowerment join hands in the women’s savings groups. Building
on initial seed money from EDWON each savings group pools individual savings,
lends money to members for income-generating ventures and helps members
provide mutual support.
As a single mother, Bimala was ostracized and struggled hard to survive.
With support from EDWON, Bimala completed a literacy program, which taught
