Although the project’s field activities started in August 2026, members shared the knowledge and skills they had already gained through project training and meetings.
Participants shared that their journey to improve their livelihoods and leadership has just begun through the knowledge and skills gained from training through the SHAKTI Project. They expressed hope that FH Canada would continue its support for at least the next 6โ8 years, enabling them to become more confident, skilled, and empowered to sustain their groups after the project ends.
