Four of the 18 contestants were from our programme. - Forming of SELF HELP GROUPs
Women undergoing rehabilitation process at Tasintha are able to draw their resource together which enables them to lend out as loans to each other so that they are able to start and run their own businesses through organised savings called Grow Our Wealth Self Help Group.
