This group was founded by the widowed women in the year 2007.It has a total membership of 15 women. The members came together and decided to form a group since they had common challenges in life. They believed that supporting one another through merry go rounds and just being there for each other was a good idea to make them grow and overcome some of the challenges they were undergoing as widows.
This group joined Women Enterprise Fund in the year 2009 and was given a first loan of 50,000. This money was divided amongst 10 members who were present and active by then. They bought a sheep in each homestead. They applied for subsequent loans of 100,000/- then 200,000/- and finally 350,000.
