The capacity building project for marginalized women is paving the way to enhance grassroots women's leadership. Members in the marginalized groups come from the grassroots. Due to their care-giver role, taking care of the family and children, their community participation is very much confined and lacks the opportunity to develop their potentials and capacities. Many of them see themselves as inadequate and have a low self esteem. They hardly realize their strengths and contribution to society. Through this capacity building project, the participating women are able to learn new skills and apply them in their own organization. At the same time, they will be empowered to learn to appreciate themselves and their strengths. It is only through recognizing one's strength that one can be confident in serving the others. This is what we aim to do : helping others to help themselves.
