Self Help Groups

Numerous villages are still totally out of reach from many government schemes and it is really appalling to see the living conditions of these people. Because of their remote existence amid the dense vegetation of Western Ghats, they are secluded from the mainstream society.

The people living in such areas lack knowledge about the welfare schemes and in addition there are no concerted genuine efforts to reach them either.

The people who live in these remote areas of Uttara Kannada has no or limited access to productive assets, financial resources and social services. Their problems doubled with their illiteracy, poor health care and their vulnerability to natural disasters.

Along with its other outreach programs Kadamba successfully created a whopping 2000 SHG’s. These groups were constantly monitored and guided by the dedicated volunteers of Kadamba. This network of SHG’s in turn acted as the point of contact of community outreach programs.
