Loans in Collaboration with READ

SHAMA, Inc. makes grants to designated non-profit organizations in India for disbursing and administering loans under the SHAMA WELL program.

Women on this page live near Chennai in the state of Tamil Nadu (see #7 on the map of India). Loans through SHAMA WELL (part of SHAMA, Inc.) will assist a registered charitable organization, READ, in their work in this part of India. READ collaborates with Sahaya International.

READ's goal is to improve the social, educational and economic conditions of underprivileged, disadvantaged and vulnerable people, particularly women and children. One way they do this is by empowering women through Self-Help groups. (Information from the READ web pages.) SHAMA Inc.'s mission corresponds with READ's goals.
