Education
The education of women and girls is widely recognized as a powerful tool to empower them within their family and society, and is considered a key pathway to employment and earning.
We are committed to identifying and fighting against those barriers to equality and justice – A leader in the struggle for civil rights since its inception in 2002, GESSS is committed to diversifying our movement and we continue to fight for equal opportunities for women of color in all areas including employment, education and reproductive rights.
Investing in women makes the biggest impact – Women reinvest 90% of their income into the family, compared to 30 to 40% by men. This means women spend more on their children—food, shelter and education—which creates long-term social and economic gains for their communities. This makes them an integral part of ending the cycle of poverty.
Promoting community education and ownership – Before women are granted micro-credit loans from Self-Help they must successfully complete a six-month training program teaching basic business guidelines (how to determine business income, how to make personal savings for future expenses, and the benefits of reinvesting profits into businesses) and healthy, day-to-day living strategies.
Street Children Program
Within a short period we could do a lot of services to a number of street children. At the same time we admit that we could not meet all the needs of the street children due to financial constraints. Now we are in great need for finance to do more service to the street children who are found in great number at Hyderabad City.
Skill Development
