JLG Meetings and Capacity Building

The Kanyakumari District Fishermen Sangams’ Federation (KDFSF) places significant emphasis on the empowerment of its members through regular Joint Liability Group (JLG) meetings. These gatherings serve as a platform for fisherwomen to discuss and address their challenges, share experiences, and explore opportunities for collective growth.

Over the past year, KDFSF has conducted multiple training sessions tailored for the JLG members, focusing on areas such as financial literacy, savings discipline, and credit management. These sessions also cover important topics like leadership development, effective communication, and entrepreneurial skills, enabling the women to take on more active roles in both their families and communities.

These JLG meetings have been instrumental in fostering a strong sense of community and mutual support among the members, ensuring that they are well-equipped to handle the financial responsibilities and business challenges that come with small-scale fisheries. KDFSF's continuous support and training help these groups thrive and contribute significantly to the local economy.
