We would like to know if you could be one of our knowledge resource partners along Financial Literacy and related fields for lay women registered in our platforms and consider conducting some workshops for our women or build up training modules for dissemination among prospective women or Train-the-Trainer programs etc. for such women registered with us, so that this also becomes an excellent pretext for synergy creation for development among women along other fronts as well? If inclined to this proposition of ours, could you please connect with us @ womensynergy@gmail.com or 9711073161 where some deeper thoughts could be taken forward towards such a prospect for our women’s groups.
