What We Do | Sakhi Sewa Samaj

Our Approach

Four steps, in this order, every time

We would rather start late than skip a step. Women and girls are in the room from the first conversation.

Household and ward assessments led by local women, in Maithili and Nepali

A plan endorsed by the palika and the women’s group that will run it

Local facilitators, local suppliers and budgets read out at ward meetings

A trained group, a savings fund and the ward office as owner — then we step back
