Over 500 women have been empowered through the self-help groups that operate in various parts of Tamil Nadu. The self-help groups function within the larger rehabilitation projects, specifically to empower women. The women are not only trained in various skills, but they are given an incentive to begin their own small business.

Every woman is taught the importance of saving and sharing their resources for the larger good. Through the efforts of their SHG, several women have gone on to become self-reliant entrepreneurs who not only stand on their own feet but inspire others within their communities to do the same.
