Women are an amazing living mystery! As a human capability organisation, SELFMatters work extensively with women groups. We observe that women are innately multidimensional, naturally heroic in a quiet way and self-sacrificing. Also, they are generous and hopeful. They can achieve so much with little time and help. However, these amazing qualities sometimes if not repeatedly work against them because these are abused or not directed to benefit them. We have a key role in contributing to women’s transformation and influencing their life’s choices through wider access to SELF literacy courses [social and emotional learning and financial capability]. The more we capacitate women, the greater understanding they have of how the quality of their thoughts and emotions can help them get to their destiny. This is such a huge opportunity because of the tremendous gifts and the immense possibilities that women can contribute to the world.
