The "Back to School" campaign aims to address key socio-economic challenges by offering school-like training sessions that could enhance the capacity of Self-Help Groups (SHGs), empower women, and promote inclusive community development.
Additionally, the programme focuses on crucial thematic areas, including Social Inclusion and Social Development (SISD), food, nutrition, health and WASH (Water, Sanitation and Hygiene) (FNHW), gender equality, and PRI-CBO convergence.
Through this initiative, SHG members will be equipped with essential knowledge and practical tools to become active agents of change within their families, communities, and local governance structures.
More than just a learning intervention, the "Back to School" campaign represents a pathway to empowerment - ensuring that women are informed, included, and meaningfully engaged in all aspects of development.
The campaign launch programme was attended by 123 SHG members from two village-level Federations: Tangbangna VLF, Langol Khullen village, and Kertilna VLF, Khunbi village.
The event also had the presence of district level officials and staff members from Machi Primary Health Centre, among others.
