Lets Grow Together (LGT) is a community working for the support and strength of women in order to empower them through direct investment in the total socio-economic development of marginalized communities living in densely populated urban slums. This initiative strengthens the socio-economic empowerment of women enabling them to play a more constructive role in the social setup which in turn generates income for them and uplifts them financially, resulting in greater self-esteem and skill in hand which can sustain them for life.
“The LGT community of home-based women crafters are working on self-help basis. We aim to provide a platform to home-based entrepreneurs who need help with establishing their businesses. We strongly believe in `buy local, support local’ and this is why our community is growing at a large scale, ” she stressed.
