SATU has mobilized 15 old groups of 450 members and organized 19 new groups of 475 members to generate a savings fund and have regular meetings to solve local community problems. SATU is working on increasing social awareness for community members to know about their access to local resources and production and in this way, they have engaged a total of 34 groups with 925 members.
Through this coordination, fraternity and solidarity have been raised. They have been sitting and meeting in a particular place close to their houses and discussing about their family crisis and having conversations about solving those. The field workers talk regularly about nutrition and care of pregnant mother and child among other issues.
SATU has provided training to 75 group members on vegetable cultivation, nutritional improvement and mother and child health care. With this training, group members are producing vegetables for family consumption and to sell in the local market. Mothers are more aware of their children’s nutritional care and offer proper treatment to them. The pregnant mothers are taking their rest after every meal and after a day’s work.
