Who does it benefit?

The MMF Model

Baseline Surveys

MMF’s journey commences with comprehensive baseline surveys, unveiling the intricate demographic landscape and delving deep into the socio-economic context of women’s lives. This process is particularly attentive to the challenges posed by Violence Against Women and Girls (VAWG), as well as their health and economic conditions.

Self-help groups

Self-help groups (SHGs) emerge as powerful catalysts for women’s autonomy. These groups are nurtured to foster income generation, propelling women to become architects of their economic destinies. The SHGs go beyond this, cultivating leadership skills and offering training in critical business activities such as tailoring and catering, igniting a wave of self-reliance and capability.

Combating Violence Against Women and Girls

MMF’s mission extends to combating Violence Against Women and Girls (VAWG) with steadfast determination. Through communication and awareness campaigns, volunteers are equipped with the tools to be change agents. The establishment of Community Case Registration Centres (CRC) stands as a beacon of support, overseen by our women leaders and serving as sanctuaries for 250 households. Here, community members seek guidance and counsel, empowered by CRCs’ abilities to provide counselling and initiate necessary legal actions when required.
