Locally, the project is known as \u201cJovwira\u201d, which is synonymous with self-help. The project is in its fourth year 0f implemetation.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">The SHG is a\nrights-based approach which views poverty, which is multidimensional, as any\nform of deprivation, including the denial of rights. Poverty alleviation, on\nthe other hand, is a process of reclaiming one\u2019s rights, especially amongst\nwomen who are most vulnerable. The SHGA puts equal emphasis on the economic,\nsocial and political empowerment of women. <\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">In order to achieve\nthese goals, the approach offers a framework and guidance for establishing a\n\u2018Peoples Institution\u2019 which provides an environment of trust and cooperation\nthrough which people come to realize that they are able to help themselves and\nachieve the economic, social and political goals that they themselves define.\nImplementation of the SHGs revolves around a number of key steps, among others,\nidentifying the very poor, mobilizing them and helping them realize their\nrights by building their capacity so that they can participate equally in\npublic life. <\/p>\n\n\n\n<h4 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Project
